Romella landed a Clonmel handicap in June for which she's raised 7lb and her rider now claims 2lb less. Tom McGreevy makes his handicap debut against seasoned performers including THE ABBEY. Gordon Elliott's charge was in front at this trip when tackling 2m2f at Downpatrick and can hang on this time. The Declaimer ran very well over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and has the pace to get involved here as has General Moriviere, who was conceding the winner 11lb when narrowly beaten into third at Navan. Amlad won well at Wexford and may have found 2m3f just too far at Downpatrick so looks a threat with his rider claiming 7lb.
