Chat can collect
Her form figures, of course, make somewhat disturbing reading and plenty of punters, one suspects, won't want to know about Dermot Weld's charge.
There is no reason, however, to believe the daughter of Alzao is less than enthusiastic about the game and the fact her canny handler does not fit blinkers is proof enough she is regarded as totally genuine by Rosewell House.
The selection was returning from a break when going off a strong favourite at the recent Galway Festival. But the three-year-old enjoyed little luck in running, before finishing with a flourish to be beaten two lengths by market rival, Loblolly Bay.
Happy To Chat will be suited to stepping up to a mile for the first time and, with the best of the draw, gets a reasonably confident vote.
Weld has wasted no time fitting blinkers on Summer Soul in the Gowran Park Rooftop Restaurant and Bar Handicap, and that's a positive move.
Considering his lack of experience, the son of Danehill performed really well to finish two and a half lengths second to Noend in a competitive Galway handicap last time.
Summer Soul ran very lazily through the race, but if the blinkers have the desired effect he has to go close, particularly with Shane Gorey claiming a useful 7lbs off a light weight.
Kevin Prendergast's twice-raced Qassas is the one they all have to beat in the Lynam Merit Maiden.
He appeared to be crying out for further when beaten a length by Irish Question at Leopardstown over a mile with subsequent winner, Wilderness Bay, another length and a half away in third.
