Comment: Third behind a stablemate of Watch Tower over 5f here on debut; pedigree suggests this extra distance, but perhaps she will need another furlong or two to be seen to maximum effect.

14/1

Comment: Seven-time turf winner ran a cracking race at Fairyhouse last time, setting a strong pace and just caught late on over this trip; the easier ground today will suit and can go well up 1lb.

18/1

Comment: Two of his five wins have been on turf; placed plenty of times too; needs to find improvement on his three runs this year and is also best on a sounder surface.

40/1

Comment: Five-time winner up to 1m whose best form has come on soft ground, though he handles a sound surface; is now 6lb below his last winning mark but has been well beaten on all starts this year so needs a revival.
