Verdict

With more rain forecast and the ground likely to turn testing, experience could provide the key here. Back At Dawn and HAPPILY met over the trip on similar ground at Leopardstown early this month when the former just came out on top in fifth behind the impressive subsequent Chesham winner September. Aidan O'Brien's filly, who has an entry in the Moyglare, looked just more in need of the run behind her stable companion and can turn the tables and take this before going on to better things. The yard is also represented by Sizzling, a daughter of Galileo out of a winning miler in the USA, though she has no further entries. Shalailah will definitely improve for her run at Fairyhouse while Raynama, another Moyglare entry and a half-sister to the useful Rehana, could prove the pick of the newcomers.
