In depth

Verdict

Chernish drops back down in trip on the back of placed efforts and will figure with a repeat of her second at the Curragh. But RANGEFIELD EXPRESS faced a tougher task when fifth at the Curragh on his handicap debut and should make a bold bid in this company with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance helping his cause. Emily Grace also improved on her first start in a handicap while the likes of Dancing Mountain, Rest Bay and Cozy Sky are all worthy of a second glance now handicapping for the first time.
