MEAN FOMHAIR (NAP) makes a quick reappearance after a very easy victory at Roscommon on Monday after which connections were thinking about black type for her. She'll go up by much more than the 6lb penalty she carries here and could outclass these. Scorpion Black had been running well before landing a course and distance handicap in June but didn't quite run up to that form on a return visit. Balletto has come in for strong support the last twice and run better than her finishing position suggests so she looks a threat while Asanda showed her first real sign of form in a Leopardstown handicap last time and should make further progress.
