Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but it could pay to side with RED AUTUMN who shaped well on her return when a patiently-ridden fourth at Naas and should find this step up in trip very much in her favour. Johnny Soda wasn't at his best when fifth at Navan last time but could still emerge as the main danger off a handy-looking mark, while both Monvoe and How'sthebai also need factoring into this highly competitive event.

1	Fairly useful filly. Made a promising return from 6 months off with fourth of 13 in handicap at Naas (7f) in March, nearest finish having been left with lot to do. Not without interest with this longer trip looking a big plus. 1st Pick 1 Red Autumn (Ire) Jockey: C. D. Hayes Trainer: D. K. Weld, Ireland J: C. D. Hayes T: D. K. Weld, Ireland	92	-	-	-	20%

5	Justified support to win 1m handicap in the mud at Cork in May. Failed to improve as expected for the step up in trip when only fifth of 7 at Navan (1¼m) 19 days ago. Well worth another chance, especially if the rains come. 2nd Pick 5 Johnny Soda (Ire) Jockey: Adam Caffrey Trainer: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland J: Adam Caffrey T: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland	98	-	-	-	23%

4	Has returned a much improved model, opening his account in 1m Limerick handicap in April before following up in 15-runner handicap here (1m) 20 days ago. Hiked up again considerably in the weights but must enter calculations in his hat-trick bid. 3rd Pick 4 Monvoe (Ire) Jockey: Reese Holohan Trainer: R. P. Cody, Ireland J: Reese Holohan T: R. P.
