Verdict

Handicaps don't come much trickier than this but INISHTEARAGHT can give supporters a good run. Joseph O'Brien is making a late charge for the apprentices' title and was on board when his mount scored over a mile at Naas in June. She's entitled to reverse earlier Sligo running with Leah Claire on these terms though that rival should make a bold bid. Champion Boy landed a ladies' handicap over 1m4f here in August before finding an extra furlong too far at Down Royal. He's won over this trip on soft ground and should get involved. Kokoro is another with a real chance under the excellent Ben Curtis and both trip and going will be in his favour.
