In depth
Verdict
THE BLUE PANTHER's two close defeats at Navan in June are comfortably the best runs here. He hasn't done as well when tackling 6f in his two latest starts and a return to the minimum is in his favour. All Things Bright, from a stable in top form, has finished last in her two most recent races though against smart opposition and she doesn't look on a bad mark while Shannon Valley didn't quite get the run of the race when well supported for a Sligo nursery. Betrayed has shown very good pace in her last two starts while Dress Kode hasn't been getting home over 6f.
