Meritorious is penalised for winning a race at Newmarket on the Flat in 2021 and bumper winner Ginnets Girl also carries 7lb extra, though she has placed four times over timber and will be hard to keep out of the frame again. Camino Rock was third in a Punchestown handicap in April but tailed off when last of four at Roscommon subsequently. Former pointer GENTLE AND KIND was making her debut under Rules after a very long absence when second here last month. The first two pulled well clear of their rivals and she should go one better today. Mighty Mo Missouri has had a couple of outings on the Flat since last seen over hurdles and Jessica Harrington’s four-year-old may be the danger.
