Spanish Soprano had been beaten in half-a-dozen handicaps before landing a Dundalk maiden in February, when Stranagone was 2l back in third, and will need to step-up again though Tom Madden's claim is a bonus. Mulzamm had been going well on Polytrack before a close third at Cork while Dance Alone is back on the same mark as when successful over track and trip last summer. Coreczka, seven times a winner on the all-weather, is 0-17 on Turf while Footsteps At Dawn is 11lb higher than her only victory. ASANDA is a bit of a stab in the dark as he's only had three runs, all in sprints. He's bred for this trip and showed enough potential to be given a speculative vote from what could be a lenient mark.
