In depth
Verdict
HAN SOLO gained his only success in 20 starts around here and though behind No Show at Clonmel later is much better off at the weights. Burren Song looks ready to win soon judging by two recent runs at Dundalk though both were over 1m4f. Morning Approach has been racing over shorter on the latter track while Tooreen Angel, twice a winner at Dundalk, has yet to be placed in six starts on Turf. Power Drive has been looking a bit high in the weights since completing a Dundalk double earlier this year.
