The peculiarities of the weights for purchase price system in the opener at Ballinrobe this evening means that Coconino gets weight from the rest of the field, and that only encourages belief in her chance.

A daughter of Sinndar's sire, Grand Lodge, Coconino has run twice and been been placed twice, behind Mowassel at Cork and Some Style at Tipperary.

The ground could hardly have been different at both venues, so Coconino's versatility is proven, and the balance of the form gives her the beating of Gotarapofahames and Okey Dorey.

Shvera can land the handicap for Jim Gorman now that she's over two miles and with Kevin Manning on her back, while Union Square, fourth to Winning Jenny on the flat at Down Royal, is the pick in the bumper.
