In depth

Verdict

Torina is consistent and will like the soft ground though she is better over further. A strong pace would aid her cause but she may be a few pounds high. Cannot Give appreciated stepping up to 1m6f at Killarney last week and she's another who will like the going. A 5lbs penalty looks fair enough and it will be a surprise if she isn't involved. Driveheron failed to fire at Galway though that was hardly surprising as she was raised 12lbs for her easy victory over Walter De La Mare at Killarney. The handicapper hit City Line with a 9lbs rise after his easy victory over the C&D three weeks ago but John Murphy's horses continue in good form and this one should get competitive. ASIYA hasn't run since May and he's another who could probably do with a little further though he won over the C&D a year ago. His last two runs in the spring were his best to date and he has the look of a progressive and well handicapped type so hopefully the absence won't be too much of a hindrance.
