A few disappointing fillies here including Alertness, who is dropping dramatically in trip, as is Tara Dylan, whose promising opening run was over 1m1f on this track. Perfect Fit has gone close on occasions but has had 10 starts without winning. Bairns At Bay has shown good form though only on Polytrack at Dundalk but Aunt Sally ran better at Tipperary last week and further progress can see her in the shake-up. GLADLY ran very well when dropped down to 6f in a Leopardstown handicap last month, only her second start since April. It wouldn't take much more to land this so she's handed the vote.
