    Verdict

    Bopedro had some smart form for Jim Bolger before heading for Dubai and is back with Jessica Harrington though he faces some in-form rivals. Fame And Acclaim won easily at Cork before completing a double in a strong Curragh handicap so looks certain to make a bold bid for the hat-trick. However, he has to concede 5lb to ELDAMA, whose victory in a Leopardstown maiden in June could hardly have worked out any better, and she looks the one to beat. Miss Myers hasn't run badly in a couple of Listed contests but was due to run at Gowran yesterday.
