In depth

Verdict

Seventh Sign only just held on to complete a double over this trip at Ballinrobe and an 11lb rise makes things much more difficult. Teofolina ran very poorly at Galway but that wasn't her true form as she looked very progressive when scoring at Tipperary six days earlier. JESSIE JANE is the unknown in the event having had two runs when beaten by classy fillies last season and returning to land a Polytrack maiden in July. There should be much more to come from David Wachman's filly who is handed the vote. Frontier has been beaten a long way in two Listed events this season but Apache Drums can never be dismissed though he was beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Tipperary last time.
