Several of these have been alloted a handicap mark including HIBISCUS. The Ballydolye filly drops back down in trip having returned a losing favourite at Roscommon and Ana O’Brien’s allowance gives her the edge over the higher-rated Nuclear Option. The latter has gone backwards since finishing runner-up at Naas in June while Eadaoins Pet has plenty to find on these terms. Celeste De La Mer and Mai O'higgins look likely improvers with the latter preferred to stablemate Katie Bush.
