Pipes Of Peace showed plenty of potential as a juvenile but has had just one run this season at Leopardstown in May. This isn't the toughest of maidens so he should be thereabouts but his stable companion Pennsylvania has generally been more consistent at this level and looks to have more of a chance. Aasheq hasn't improved on last year's form so this can go to INVINCIBLE RYKER, who was just touched off by the in-form Knowing You over this trip on heavy going at Roscommon then found dropping back to 6f against him at Fairyhouse. Curly Girl came here in August and was just outpaced by Betty Loch so she has to be considered.
