Dawn Of The West makes her handicap debut after a battling victory over slightly further on soft ground at Killarney and is certain to make progress. Fancy Feat has been looking a few pounds high since scoring at Gowran so LATOYAH OF NORTH is given another chance after a disappointing run at Sligo. Her earlier close third in a major handicap at the Galway Festival would be good enough and the later run could have come too soon. Hayyel finished in front of her at Sligo though didn't quite make the expected progress at the Curragh next time but Winiata gained reward for consistency with a victory at Leopardstown and can make her presence felt. Cj Cregg is just 2lb higher than when completing a double at Limerick so is another to consider in a tight handicap.
