Hodd's Girl, a six-times track winner, has been racing in strong company on Turf but she's 12lb higher than her last winning mark. Queen Maedbh landed a maiden here a year ago and has been performing at a higher level while Many Tears made a winning debut on the track a week ago but is 7lb higher and was ridden by a 7lb claimer. Her stable also run APRICOT TWIST, the mount of Colin Keane, who was on board when she made a winning debut at Naas last summer. Highly-tried this year, she's gradually dropped to a winnable mark and should be a working man's price. She's In The Game completed a double here last winter and a fine run at Fairyhouse will have put her in top shape for this.
