Handicap change at Gowran Park Top-weight Slipper Orchid is a non runner in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Handicap over seven furlongs at 2.35pm in Gowran Park. This means the weights in the race will be raised 10lbs. This brings all remaining horses into the handicap proper. Sparkle Factor, Kanes Pass, C'Est Ma Soeur and Sophie's World had been due to race from the long handicap. Dermot Weld's Sparkle Factor is the favourite with the bookmakers for the five-runner contest. She won her maiden in Limerick earlier this month over seven furlongs.
