Verdict

TINGARRAN EXPRESS ran her best race since landing this event 12 months ago when second at Clonmel in June and, with her subsequent chase debut effort likely best overlooked, she rates a likely player to take the prize again. Del Boys Diva is thriving in handicaps and rates a big player in her hat-trick bid. Rare Times and Galileo Springs complete the dangers.

1	Proved a different proposition since the tongue strap was applied, decisive in landing handicap hurdles at Roscommon/Wexford in recent weeks. Handicapper applies further pressure but serious claims again in hat-trick bid. 2nd Pick 1 Del Boys Diva (Ire) Jockey: Keith Donoghue Trainer: Shane Crawley, Ireland J: Keith Donoghue T: Shane Crawley, Ireland	96	-	-	-	20%

8	Bred to stay well and she showed more than previously despite proving too keen when third of 16 on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (19f) 3 weeks ago. Steps back down in trip now and remains with potential provided she learns to settle better. 3rd Pick 8 Rare Times (Ire) Jockey: J. J. Slevin Trainer: Ms Margaret Mullins, Ireland J: J. J.
