Course winner Keep Believing was well beaten when chasing a hat-trick off this mark at Cork. BETTY LOCH (NAP) makes her handicap debut having just been caught in a Naas maiden last month on just her third start. An opening mark of 75 looks fair enough given her Naas conqueror, Constant Comment, won off 80 next time. The second Godolphin runner, Panstarr, is fitted with cheekpieces but has done all of her racing over longer trips so far. Butoolat is making steady progress so can’t be ignored and she makes most appeal of the remainder.
