In depth
Verdict
Adapt To Dan ran well at Killarney last time though that was over a mile. COZY SKY stayed on into third over the course and distance in May and again when fifth at Fairyhouse last month. She's been dropped 5lb in the ratings and looks on a very tempting mark so gets the nod. Trueba went up 8lb for winning over this trip at Naas and has run very well in two subsequent starts over an extra furlong so has to be considered. Kodiqueen ran her best race to date at Fairyhouse in June and has been left on the same mark while Anythingyouwantobe also showed massive improvement on her handicap debut here and has to be on the short-list in a very competitive handicap
