Verdict

Rightback Atya looked promising when a close third over the course and distance in May and was fancied on his next start at Downpatrick but was never travelling and pulled up lame. He could be best watched on his first run back and MISS NORTH LIGHT gets the vote. She showed ability in bumpers and behind Long Dog over the minimum trip here last month and her pedigree suggests this longer trip is what she's been waiting for. Cinder Rua has now had ten starts over timber and been placed just three times and she'll need to raise her game while Victoryrowe has never raced on anything like testing ground.
