Danali was in fine form earlier in the summer and has had a break since easily landing a Gowran maiden in June. She can improve again but will need to against this stiff opposition. Garri Rua is another in good heart though had his path cleared at Galway when left in front at the last while winning point-to-pointer Battle Of Clontarf makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark. THE RITE ARTICLE battled on strongly to beat Cadawill at Wexford, despite conceding 13lb, and a similar performance will see him difficult to beat so he gets the vote. Emma Beag landed a Sligo maiden by a distance but the going was very heavy and she had been well beaten when strongly fancied on good ground at Downpatrick previously.
