Clear Skies completed a Dundalk four-timer and has continued in good form in better company. She's performed well on Turf in her last two starts at Listed and Group 3 level and looks certain to get into contention. TURRET ROCKS has only performed at Group level recently, winning a Group 3 at the Curragh around this time a year ago. This is a big drop in class after two reasonable runs at Group 2 level and can return to winning ways. Elegant Pose landed a Naas Listed contest on soft ground in October but didn't enjoy fast going at Newmarket last time but the unbeaten Bella Estrella won't mind the conditions and has a Group 3 entry.
