FIGHTING TEARS was heavily supported when scoring on her debut at the Curragh and can be expected to take a step forward. Both the selection and Zoar have each defeated subsequent winner Roeillaun to open their accounts but although the latter merits respect, he must concede 14lb to Andy Oliver's filly on this occasion. 99-rated The Scallionator finished fourth in the Railway Stakes before struggling in the Phoenix Stakes and though eased in grade now, he isn't open to as much improvement as the aforementioned pair.

MARCO POLO flopped in the Gimcrack at York but he drops considerably in class and remains open to further progress. The Night Of Thunder colt finished second to a subsequent Group 3 winner on his debut at the Curragh and whilst he disappointed at York, it's possible that the race came a little too soon for him. Revelator is a half-brother to a Listed-placed juvenile and while he has shown some promise so far, he will probably need to find considerable improvement to score. Tennesspeed is also noted.

GERRIT'S GEM is a three-time course winner who posted an improved display at the Curragh on his latest start. The six-year-old has dropped 14lb in the handicap since May of last year and whilst held in third last time, Jack Clearly is now able to utilise his 5lb claim. Five-time winner Jon Riggens scored at Navan recently and is respected with conditions likely to suit. Grande Curvee makes her handicap debut following three placed efforts in maidens, while All The Girls is able to operate from a much reduced mark on the turf relative to her all-weather rating.

HAVEN should improve considerably from a gentle introductory effort. Out of a Group-placed half-sister to dual Classic winner Lope De Vega, the selection was purchased for 550,000gns as a yearling and while unfancied at Galway, she still showed some promise and it's interesting that she still holds a Group 1 entry at this current stage. Frankel filly Castilian Queen is the first foal out of a Group 2 winner, while Atlantic Rose is half-sister to a Group 1 winner. Hanawa is a half-sister to three stakes performers and is another to note along with Emana.

GREEN KITE's form is all on slower ground and he is tempting with the forecast rain. On his penultimate start, he was a decent second at Leopardstown behind a winner who followed up in a valuable fillies' handicap at the Curragh and in a Listed race at Killarney. Colin Keane stays loyal to the four-year-old gelding. Gilts will also welcome juice in the ground and is only 3lb higher than when delivering at Gowran Park in June. Micasso is more than capable of a good run off his mark, while Spent All Me Money has definitely been given a chance by the handicapper.

ENIGMA CODE attracted plenty of support on debut in Gowran Park but was slowly into stride and raced freely before finishing nicely for fourth. He looks sure to come on from that run stepping up in trip. Dermot Weld's Almeiyda sets the standard with a mark of 80. She wasn't at her best when a beaten favourite in seventh at Roscommon, but two previous runner-up berths at Galway and Roscommon give her every chance. There are plenty of winners in Storm Ready's pedigree and he is well worth a market check ahead of his first start, while other newcomers of note are Big Jake and San Giulio.

Greek Flower has been competing in higher grades and catches the eye off a mark of 66, however 1m could stretch her stamina. SHEREKIYA came home well when beaten a neck in third on just her second handicap start in the Curragh, and there should be more to come from the Camelot filly. Comfort Line is a veteran with 119 races to his name and landed that aforementioned Curragh contest, so should be well involved. Navajo Point made a breakthrough in Gowran Park and is another contender along with Bellewstown winner Wegotogether.
