FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Jessica Harrington-trained PRESENCE can defy topweight here in this tight knit handicap. Runner-up at Punchestown last month, the three-year-old looked ill at ease on the track before finishing strongly. Only 2lb higher now, the daughter of New Bay catches the eye in first-time cheekpieces. With all four turf wins coming over course and distance, The Bog Bank is an obvious contender. Tom McCourt's mare looked as good as ever when staying on late to score here in August. Pepper Noir has been off since May but on her earlier form the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly would be a threat. Lightly raced on turf, the three-year-old shaped well on both starts at the Curragh earlier in the season.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards fillies only rated 50-80 that are EBF eligiblePenalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
