Ohio State has been disappointing and looks high enough in the weights but Global Pass, a winner at Limerick in June, lost his action when well beaten at Cork and is much better than that. Loughanlea Lass is still a maiden after 10 starts but ran very well at Leopardstown on her penultimate start and is on the same mark. Divine Celt has an almost identical record but has now been beaten six times off this mark so the vote in a moderate handicap goes to ROKOTURA, who can race from 1lb lower despite almost making all at Cork last week.
