This is a low-grade handicap and Admiralty looks one of the few capable of doing better and he carried a big weight into second at Gowran on his final start last season. The veteran An Saighdiur is having his 97th race and has won eleven times though he's on a long losing run and hasn't been in the best of form. Intense Stylist is 1-27 though his lone success came on heavy going while INVINCIBLE QUEEN also gained her only success in testing ground. She beat Aunt Audrey into second at Gowran in October and is better off at the weights so looks to have as good a chance as any in a tricky finale.
