Verdict
GO ON BE A LADY knows how to win around here and if fit enough first time out, she is more than capable of landing what is a very moderate race. Schinken Otto is invariably fancied for races of this nature though any rain would certainly not be to his advantage. Best Horse has not won a race yet and the handicapper has had time to drop his assessment to 89 having previously introduced him off 98. Troodos Jet is an archetypal course specialist who is sure to be popular with the local patrons. Well Oiled is now in off a platers mark having ran at the big festivals in Ireland. Follow The Sun has been kept busy on the flat this summer and has a second run for Peter Niven.
