Verdict

Invincible Ash and Miss Velocity have been running well in handicaps and are obvious contenders but the vote goes to GLORIFIED. David Watchman's filly made a winning debut on polytrack last month when landing some nice bets and scoring comfortably. She was sent into Group 3 company over today's C&D subsequently and though finding the grade too hot to handle she ran well enough to suggests this class is well within her scope. Invincible Ash was just behind in that race here and is a couple of pounds better off despite the fact that she beat a huge field very easily at the Curragh last time. She looks a formidable opponent and should have no problems with Miss Velocity, who was a long way behind at the Curragh. She also holds Daffodil Walk on their run at Dundalk in October while Cosmic Breeze has plenty to do.
