Verdict

Three-year-olds have a tremendous record in this so this chance of Stylish One is greatly respected despite her being caught close home over a mile last time. Negotiate stayed on late to snatch the spoils over 1m1f at Gowran so the longer trip will be in her favour while the close fourth place of Luxurious behind Banimpire at Naas is looking even better after the winner's subsequent exploits. CELENDINE and Cornakill occupied the minor positions behind Mountain Pride in a strong handicap at Leopardstown last week and as that was the former's first run since November she looks ready to go one better and take this. Plum Sugar has been running well over further and is another with a chance in an open contest.
