Verdict

Local Flier is the only course and distance winner in the quintet but that was a year ago and she's struggled from her new mark in subsequent starts. Peace Mission was having only her third start when making all for an impressive victory in a Down Royal maiden over 7f, though she's taking on better class rivals here. Creggs Pipes is likely to take her on for the lead as she also made all over that trip here in June while Octavia is yet another front-runner and she's also been racing over further having scored over a mile at Naas earlier this month. The latter trio will probably take each other on and should set the race up nicely for BAINNE (NAP) as she came with a strong late run to score over the trip at the Curragh before running well there in a much better class handicap.
