The last three winners have all been drawn high. Battleroftheboyne is the only one of these to have won on this stiff track and finished a close third in the race a year ago. He's 7lb higher due to scoring twice subsequently but should still go well. Charlies Missile had been in good form at Dundalk before finding the in-form Niven too strong on heavy going over 7f at Limerick. He was leading at this trip and should be there at the finish. MAINICIN has had very little racing but her five runs include the Irish 1000 Guineas last May. She's taking a big drop in trip and class and Jim Bolger's filly is taken to gain her first success. Belezza Oscura has been consistent without winning and takes a big drop in the ratings so looks to have a chance along with Art World, a dual winner for Brian Ellison in the UK last summer.
