Verdict

Amanirenas scored over the course and distance in June and continued in good form before winning with something to spare at Fairyhouse. A 9lb rise makes this more difficult but another big run is expected. Chestnutter has found his form in no uncertain terms, completing a double in good style at Tipperary where he made all. He's up 8lb and has an outside berth to contend with so this looks tougher. Recent winners Lady Arwen and On Our Radar are also on the outside but TORIANGEL is well enough berthed and though she's still a maiden on Turf the Dundalk winner showed enough over the track and trip last month to finally get off the mark. Gegenpressing was engaged in the 5.40 at Gowran yesterday.
