Verdict

This won't take much winning and Shabra Emperor has every chance of picking up the winning thread despite failing to cope off this mark at Cork on Monday. Veteran Six of Hearts is a course winner but is on a long losing run. Oddysey appears out of sorts and is now blinkered but The Ring Is King will have needed his run over hurdles earlier this month and could be interesting with Sean Corby's claim in his favour. DEEMAH also has a claimer on board and David Marnane's filly can make a successful debut on Turf having finished third at Dundalk on her only previous start in a handicap and over today's trip.
