Verdict

SHEREKIYA and Avec Grand Plaisir should both be getting their head in front sooner rather than later, with Dermot Weld's well-bred filly narrowly preferred on this occasion. Longseoir and Trumph also need considering in a competitive handicap.

5	Lightly-raced 3-y-o filly hails from a quality Aga Khan family. Looks to be getting the hang of things now, stepping forward from her handicap debut/reappearance when neck third behind Comfort Line at the Curragh (1m). Her turn likely to come sooner rather than later. 1st Pick 5 Sherekiya (Ire) Jockey: C. D. Hayes Trainer: D. K. Weld, Ireland J: C. D. Hayes T: D. K. Weld, Ireland	99	-	-	-	16%	Scratched

6	€110,000 son of St Mark's Basilica who's related to some useful types. Got back on the up when narrowly failing to reel in Comfort Line at the Curragh (1m). Navan's stiff finish should play to his strengths, and this low-mileage 3-y-o has to be high on the shortlist. 2nd Pick 6 Avec Grand Plaisir (Fr) Jockey: R. P. Whelan Trainer: Jarlath P.

1	Hold-up type who was unlucky not to finish closer when 2 lengths third of 17 in handicap at the Galway Festival (8.5f). Still looks feasibly treated on best form and should benefit from a good pace to aim at here. 3rd Pick 1 Loingseoir (Ire) Jockey: Jack Cleary Trainer: M. C. Grassick, Ireland J: Jack Cleary T: M. C.
