In depth

Verdict

She's In The Game is the only course winner having beaten a huge field over 7f in August. She ran very well when tackling this trip here and should get competitive if ready after a break. PIRATE JENNY followed a very encouraging debut at Navan with a cosy success at Cork and the half-sister to a Group 2 winner could prove better than a handicapper. Elanora has shown very good speed in both starts on ground with give this season while Count To Five's maiden victory at Sligo was boosted when the runner-up went one better next time. Theriverrunsdeep and Marsa are on hat-tricks after completing doubles at Dundalk at the end of last year but It's Snowing could have done without a 4lb rise for finishing third at Cork.
