She's Quality¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Davison| OR: 103| D

4/9

Resumed progress and capitalised on the drop in class when comfortably winning 8-runner event on handicap debut at Down Royal (5f, good, 7/4) 12 days ago, leading over 1f out. Will prove tough to beat if in similar form.

Form: 0-56241

Branding^b,t⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 82| D

20/1

Winner at Navan in May. Wasn't in anywhere near the same form when fifth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Cork (5f, good to soft) just over 6 weeks ago. Gelded since, so must bounce back.

Form: 367-915

Gabriella's Spirit^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: K J Condon| OR: 86| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Still some way short of her best when 9¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 80/1) 19 days ago. Others look stronger.

Form: 1040-06

(3)

Moral Turpitude^t²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 88| BF| D

14/1

Winner at Dundalk in November. 10/11, failed to repeat that effort when third of 6 in minor event at Dundalk (5f) 6 months ago. Cheekpieces left off and may well need this back on turf.

Zarra Ellis¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 88| D

4/1

14/1, showed much improved form to get off the mark tackling the minimum trip for the first time in 12-runner maiden at Cork (5f, good) 19 days ago, driven clear. May well build on that here.

Form: 63-401

Forecasts

She's Quality (4/9), Majestic Beauty (7/2), Zarra Ellis (4/1), Gabriella's Spirit (11/1), Moral Turpitude (14/1), Branding (20/1)

SHE'S QUALITY capitalised on the drop in class in no uncertain terms when making a winning handicap debut at Down Royal recently and Jack Davison's 3-y-o will prove a tough nut to crack if arriving in the same mood. Zarra Ellis has few miles on the clock, so she can give the selection most to do following her recent maiden victory at Cork, with Majestic Beauty rounding off the shortlist.
