In depth

Verdict

The three-year-old Hushing dead-heated for a Tipperary maiden but that puts her higher in the ratings than when beaten in a Killarney handicap earlier. Focus Of Attention won a Down Royal maiden over this trip before another fine run over an extra furlong on her handicap debut at Fairyhouse. She should be in the mix as should Ice Cold In Alex, who has been in fine form all summer. However, the latter only had a head to spare over ENTER THE RED (NAP) at the Curragh in July and Chris Hayes' mount can take his revenge on the revised terms and gain the sixth victory of his career. Course and distance winner Polly Douglas and the veteran Bubbly Bellini may do best of the remainder.
