Verdict

Aussie Valentine, once rated 100, now runs off a mark of 88, with fire along here in the early stages from stall seven. The early pace though may be the front-runners undoing, as, Beau Satchel, last win came in a Leopardstown handicap over 1m and is now 8lb below that, while a distance winner on four occasions and EMPRESS LYLA , up 10lb for a win at the Galway festival, can go past in the closing stages.
