Race preview
Darragh O'Sullivan's 7lb claim has MAKAIAH on an attractive mark for this staying test. She is effectively racing off 60 and that is just 2lb higher than when she won at Navan in May. Soft ground holds no fears for her. Jockey Robert Whearty is having a very good season and The Truant, in a first-time visor, can get in the mix. Make Good cruised home by almost 10 lengths at Tramore and is likely to be popular off 8lb higher. Bottom-weight Ranting And Raven would be a player if handling slower ground, while Open To Question is unexposed on the Flat and could get involved.
