In depth
Verdict
Gavin Cromwell has placed INNAMORARE brilliantly to win five times since June and she may not have finished just yet despite a 6lb penalty for Saturday's victory in a better race at Leopardstown. Synopsis is better known as a hurdler/chaser these days but the last time she ran on the Flat she landed a Navan handicap on heavy going. More rain would aid her cause but Best Not Argue may just be in the grip of the handicapper as she couldn't quite peg back Vocal Music at Navan after going up a massive 13lb for completing a double when successful on this track. Roccia Bella made a winning handicap debut over the course and distance last month and an 8lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
