There have been three runnings of this event and John Oxx has won the last two. He'll be hoping to make it a treble with KARASIYRA as the daughter of Alhaarth was an unfortunate loser when stepped up to this trip and Grade 3 company last time as she was caught on the line by Grace O'Malley. Indiana Girl finished last on that occasion but showed her appreciation for a drop in grade when a good third to Precious Gem in Listed company at Limerick. Sense Of Purpose has yet to recapture her juvenile form and this trip is not certain to suit while Grand Admiral's two victories have come on polytrack at Dundalk.
