In depth
Verdict
Donegal Shore has more to do than when landing a banded stakes race here last time and preference is for Mugeba, who gets the vote ahead of Empress Josephine. The selection showed improved form here over seven furlongs last time and should not be inconvenienced by the drop back in trip to six today. Bryan McMahon's Back In Spirit is interesting off his lightweight, especially having stepped up on previous efforts over course and distance last time. Simply The Guest has been given a break since finishing third over a mile here behind Tee Jay Kassidy last month but may not be suited by the drop back in trip to six furlongs and of more interest may be Empress Josephine, who has slipped to a fair mark and advertised her current form when a close fifth in a similar contest here last time.
