15/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Dundalk (6f, 7/4) 24 days ago, pushed out. 8 lb higher now but she will give it a good shot if able to to translate that improved form back to turf.

BRIGID'S CLOAK raised her game with cheekpieces enlisted under Rory Mulligan when deservedly opening her account at Dundalk last time and, on the proviso that she proves equally effective back on turf, this filly could prove a tough nut to crack. Unique Journey has performed with credit on each of his three starts since switched to handicaps and another bold show could be on the way, while likely improvers Island Girl and Aherla Rock (stablemate of the selection) are also of interest.
