DELUSIONAL didn't shape at all badly when third behind Femme Beauty at Gowran in May and is fancied to reverse the placings on more favourable terms, with Zitkala Sa looking best of the remainder.

3	Ran well when ¾-length third of 11 to Femme Beauty in handicap at Killarney in May. Not so good last time but enjoys a significant pull at the weights with Femme Beauty now tackling a claimer and holds obvious claims if able to bounce back. 1st Pick 3 Delusional (Ire) Jockey: S.

1	Consistent handicapper who scored at Killarney in May and has remained in good form in 2 starts since, finishing 5¼ lengths third of 16 to Lord Aus at Limerick 12 days ago. Not obviously favoured by the conditions of this claimer but should give her running, which cannot be said for all of these. 2nd Pick 1 Femme Beauty (Ire) Jockey: M. Popan Trainer: K. J.

4	Stepped up on previous efforts in first-time cheekpieces when 3¼ lengths third of 12 to Amrum in handicap at Gowran last time. Cheekpieces now removed but likely to be thereabouts if building on his previous effort. 3rd Pick 4 Zitkala Sa (Ire) Jockey: P. A. Harnett Trainer: Kevin Thomas Coleman, Ireland J: P. A.
