Banntown Girl, a maiden winner at Ballinrobe in May, ran quite well at Galway and again on the Flat at Tramore last month. Hearts Are Trumps gained the fifth victory of his career in a handicap at the former track in July but Gordons Aura has been slightly disappointing since landing a Fairyhouse maiden in February, though didn't run badly at Downpatrick last time. Miss Fourie was elevated into Listed company at Killarney after landing a Sligo maiden but never got into contention while FIRST DARE is still a maiden though the latter was only headed close home in a Tramore handicap and can go one better. Ricky Langford has won twice this summer and was placed over fences at Killarney last time.
