Verdict
Out On Friday won this in 2020 and is just 1lb higher despite scoring at Gowran last month but Lord Erskine very rarely runs over a trip this short, his victory at Roscommon in May coming over 1m4f on heavy ground. Dark Note has changed stables since landing a Ballinrobe claimer and MY MINERVINA (NAP) has met trouble in-running in two starts since completing a double in July so can get back on the winning trail. Apple Of His Eye has looked a few pounds high since landing a Listowel maiden while Killarney winner Molly's Gamble is 14lb higher.
