Verdict

DELAIRE won four times when trained in Germany last year and opened his account for new connections when successful at Leopardstown last week - he’s taken to defy a penalty in this. Lomi's Law won here in May but remains 10lb higher but Cosmic Symbol landed a double over shorter trips in June and finished ahead of Annie Irish over 7f here last time. Howaya Hurricane was still well beaten when third at the track on her reappearance but Best Not Argue continues to slide down the weights.
