EVENING'S EMPIRE (9) has Frankie Dettori booked after an excellent effort here when a close second attempting a 1 ⅝m handicap during July. Leading contender. GOD KNOWS (1) ran well two outings back finishing a head second in a 1 ¼m median at the Curragh. Open to further improvement and makes for appeal. GISELLES DEFENCE (8) ran with credit at the same venue managing a close fifth contesting a 1m handicap. Thereabouts. WHO NOT WHAT (5) was not disgraced at Leopardstown two starts ago running fifth over 7f. Warrants thought.
