DAZZLE DANCER looked a nice prospect at the beginning of last year but didn't really progress and was well beaten on her final two starts on polytrack. She is by Montjeu and there could be enough scope for her to lose her maiden tag here. Hildor was staying on strongly over 1m1f at Ballinrobe but she's becoming expensive to follow and will be a short odds again here. Prayer Boat has found some consistency but isn't proven over this trip while L'Amour Toujours may be better off in a handicap after three moderate efforts.
