In depth

Verdict

Bercasa has been running well without much luck and would be a threat if getting a run from her first reserve spot. The veteran Dinkum Diamond is still capable of a big run as he showed behind Roccia Bella here last month and the winner runs earlier. Timiniya has disappointed though some rain would aid her cause but DANEHILL QUEST can take this. Sheila Lavery's charge scored over a mile at Killarney in August and came from a long way back when tackling 2f further at Navan last time. All The Mollies ran poorly at Galway last time while Noble Intention has never won in 17 starts on Turf. Aunt Audrey and Chaparral Dream finished 1-2 over a mile on fast going here last month but the runner-up has the better subsequent form.
