Verdict
TREASURE THE RIDGE carried a huge weight to victory over this trip on heavy ground at Galway in August but couldn't quite complete the double under a penalty over a shorter trip at Sligo. He's been given a break and looks well enough treated to score again. Dysios was having his first start in a year when landing a Navan handicap a fortnight ago but the handicapper has reacted with a 12lb rise which looks excessive. Dame Lucy made a belated debut at the Curragh last week and came with a strong late run to land a fillies' maiden. She can only improve and a mark of 79 shouldn't prevent another big run. Teocht had been finding fast ground against him before she came good at Tipperary and, on going that should prove even more ideal, she can provide the main threat.
