FormscanBy Alan Magee - HEART OF DARKNESS won a maiden over this trip at Dundalk in April and the lightly raced filly has more scope for improvement than her rivals. She didn’t enjoy much luck in running on her only subsequent start here the following month in the Listed Polonia Stakes and it will be interesting to see how strong she is in the market on handicap debut after a summer break. Imperial Dream appreciated a sound surface when taking a 21-runner Curragh handicap over this trip last month with Never Shout Never (now 7lb better off) two lengths back in fourth, while course and distance winner Grand City Hall blew his chance at the start in Ascot last time.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (85 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
