The consistent Annagh Haven has won once in 30 starts but she's been performing over trips too short and remains well handicapped. Coach Bombay has been in excellent form at Dundalk but has never won on Turf so this can go to DANCING NORETTA. She showed little in maidens over much shorter before finishing with a real flourish on her handicap debut over 1m4f at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Balkinstown is a real stayer as he showed when landing a two mile Clonmel handicap and a strong pace will play to his strengths. Hurricane Sky generally prefers some give in the ground so it was a very good performance to finish third on fast going at Navan and he's another with a chance in a tough finale.
