Verdict

Californiadreaming found the combination of Listed company and a longer trip too much here last month but had beaten Grainne's Dream, who runs in the previous race, in a maiden at Leopardstown earlier. Misty Millie has plenty of weight on her handicap debut while Rayisa was well behind Aridity over track and trip in May. Theodorico was only third that day but is now 11lb better off so there shouldn't be much between that pair. TONY THE GENT made a bold bid to follow up his maiden success at Gowran in a better race at Navan and just failed. A mark of 86 on his handicap debut looks manageable. Whiskey Sour's only win so far came on soft going and he'll be all the better for his third at Dundalk.
