SHARIYAN makes the trip over from Ireland having landed a double at Leopardstown. He appeared to score with a bit in hand last time and can edge out Pas Trop Tard in this. The latter never recovered from a bad blunder at Kelso last time but had looked highly progressive before that when winning four of his five previous starts including a defeat of Lady Bluesky over track and trip. Los Nadis is another with claims after a return to form when second at Musselburgh last month and Hollo Ladies is preferred to Makhzoon with a conditional taking 5lb off his back.
