VASONI is still a maiden after 18 starts but she's a consistent sort and Pat Smullen's booking suggests Timothy Doyle means business here. She can finally open her account getting 10lb from stablemate Jumbo Steps and 9lb from recent Gowran winner Knights Templar. Crystal Harmony could figure with Conor Hoban taking off 5lb but Lady Lyrath and Three Bells let supporters down last time and Chillie Billie is now tried in blinkers. Fabbiaano's latest fourth came in a claimer on the beach at Laytown and this is a better contest.
