Most of these enter the fray in good form though last year's winner Russian Soul, seven times a winner on the all-weather, is much better handicapped on Turf these days. He had Togoville just behind here in February and with his rider's claim taken into account is better off at the weights. GENTLEMEN has won five races on Polytrack in the UK since the start of the year and connections must believe it's worthwhile coming here. Regular partner Josephine Gordon can again utilise her claim and her mount can gain victory number six for the year. Lady Mega is running very well as emphasised by her victory at Down Royal. She's won twice here and should make the frame again while the three-year-old Golden Pearl is still on the upgrade. She wasn't far behind Blood Moon at Fairyhouse last month and can reverse for with the winner, who has since been well beaten at Navan.
