The form pick here is undoubtedly PUTTORE but she has to put a 420-day absence behind her. Kevin Prendergast's filly made Together and Wild Wind pull out all the stops in her two races last June and a repeat of either would see her take this with ease. Alabelle should prove best of those with recent experience as she looked well suited by this trip when runner-up to Along Came Casey at Gowran. Aris has been given a break since a moderate run at Gowran in May but she has some fair form to her credit and it would be no surprise to see her bounce back. Dreams And Desires showed promise on her debut over a mile at Naas and the daughter of Dalakhani looks certain to have come on for the run.
