Verdict

BURLESQUE QUEEN (NAP) had shown very little before winning very easily at Clonmel so an 8lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. Premier D'troice also ran at that Clonmel fixture, staying on into third over 3m, while Oskar High attempted to make all over the same track and trip and wasn't headed until the straight. Kilmurry has only had four starts but showed potential on his handicap debut at Wexford in March and should be winning soon. Fu's Island landed a Tramore handicap in August, though that was on good going, while Divin Desire has been beaten a dozen times off this mark.
