In depth

Verdict

Sincerest has been busy having finished mid-division at Limerick on Saturday and she was engaged in the 5.30 here yesterday. DEVIOUS DREAMER also makes a quick reappearance having finished a close fourth at Leopardstown on Thursday. He's yet to get on the scoresheet but dropping back in trip and Luke McAteer's claim can put matters right. Supreme Machine stayed on strongly over a mile on soft ground at Listowel so could find this on the short side but Faraway Dreams made a fine handicap debut behind the in-form International Lady at Cork and looks a major threat. Breagagh is running into form though is up 5lb for finishing second at Fairyhouse.
