In depth

Verdict

Gagnant is on top of his game at present and is on a fair enough mark to make his presence felt. He'll get a good ride from his accomplished jockey as will Jeangeorges, though the latter is 15lbs higher than when scoring at Listowel in June. C&D winner Silly Dancer can go well providing her exertions from Gowran last night don't take their toll but BOYNAGH JOY could be the one to be on. The five-year-old hasn't many miles on the clock and has run well from this mark on her two starts this season after her closing victory at Dundalk last November.
