Verdict
A tight little heat in which COILLTE EILE is the choice after coming good on just a third start for these connections when quite a tidy victor of a decent Chepstow handicap. A 5lb rise is acceptable and she'll prove a tough opponent if able to reproduce that level here, having been rated on far higher marks in the past. Dame De Fortune has been a consistent performer since joining Olly Murphy and should deliver another solid account despite not having been cut too much slack by the assessor. Shighness has useful form in the book, but is hard to assess on seasonal reappearance, whereas Lone Star has been kept fairly busy since joining Phil Kirby in the summer and is respected on the back of a useful runner-up effort at Hexham on her latest start.
