A desperately low grade affair in which Cantique could surprise a few people versus Solicitude and Fairdonna. Cantique has cost her followers plenty over the years but she is a tricky ride that does nothing once seeing daylight. Jimmy Quinn has been booked tonight and were she able to reproduce a recent third to Justcallmehandsome, she would have to be thereabouts come the finish. Solicitude has made a habit of finishing close up and is duly respected. It's unfortunate for connections that the assessor has noted her progression. Fairdonna had bits and pieces of form for Denis Coakley. The market needs to be watched in order to see what is anticipated. Castle Durrow should not lack for fitness having raced around Dundalk of late. Johnston's Glory drops down in trip having not stayed a mile around Kempton under a positive ride. Gee Ceffyl Bach didnt act at Kempton and her latest run is swiftly ignored. Cow Girl is in first time cheekpieces. Many chances in a moderate contest and Cantique is the speculative pick.
