A huge field of moderate and mainly out of form handicappers. Path Of Silver couldn't get anywhere near Kubali at Killarney but still has a chance at these weights while Best Destination ran well at Ballinrobe, though makes her handicap debut under a big weight. DALTON HIGHWAY looked to have a chance at the Curragh last week after a very good run at Galway but never really got into the action. Today's extra quarter-mile will suit and he's taken to make amends and gain his first victory. Ineffable has found 1m4f taxing his stamina in his two latest runs and is only 4lb higher than his victory at Leopardstown in April. Any further rain would aid his cause while Masonbrook Lady has won twice this summer, though is 10lb higher than her latest success.
