Desert Fantasy showed good speed for a long way at Cork and will improve while Lady Gosford was just caught inside the final furlong when tackling 6f in what looked a strong maiden at Naas and must be on the short-list. Desert Of Dreams made a bright start over 6f at Leopardstown before stepping up in trip and running reasonably well behind Theatre on the same track. It's a surprise to see him dropping back to the minimum and he may not have the pace to cope with SCREAM BLUE MURDER. Tommy Stack's filly started favourite on her debut at Navan in May but couldn't quite cope with the useful Cristofo Colombo. She was in the front rank for a long way in a Listed contest over 6f at Naas last time and looks set to gain her first success.
