Verdict

Peacehaven's victory over Nuala Tagula here last month could be given a boost by the runner-up earlier in the day and Johnny Murtagh's filly looks well in for her handicap debut. The lightly-raced Accalia ran easily her best race to date when dropped to the minimum at Tipperary and she'll get a good ride from Tom Madden while Calm Bay is still running well enough to be considered as he's well enough handicapped despite going up 5lb for his Navan victory where he had Mr Bounty close behind. The latter was a long way behind BURREN VIEW LADY over 6f here a year ago and though Denis Hogan's mare is better over that trip she made a bold bid to make all here in June and was still in the lead at today's distance. He stable has struck form and she's handed the vote.
