In depth
Verdict
ORANGEY RED has won twice this season, both times on heavy going including when beating just two rivals with ease on this track in May. With conditions in her favour and a progressive profile she's taken to land this competitive heat. Bubbly Bellini has won 17 races and won't mind the ground so he can go well with Daniel Redmond's claim a bonus while fellow veteran An Saighdiur has generally been running well without winning since his last victory a year ago at the Curragh. Bainne enjoys plenty of cut in the ground and ran well at Galway last week but Jim Bolger is having problems finding a race for Club Wexford, whose only success to date was over three years ago. Fit For Function is running well but tackles an extra furlong on heavy going for the first time.
