In depth

Verdict

DRAGON GIRL easily won a Sligo claimer last week and her new connections have put her in here at a realistic claiming price so she can follow up. Military Hill, a claiming winner over the course and distance last month, has plenty to do with his big weight but the selection's new stable companion Eadbhard also won easily here in June. Santorini Sun is the official top-rated and has been running at a higher level since transferring from the UK while Highway To Heaven is taking a drop in class and would have a chance on her two runs at Bellewstown last month.
