Ransomed Rose sports blinkers on her handicap debut but hasn't shown much so far and has been off the track for a while. To The Sky is also tried in headgear after disappointing at Navan last week but he was behind Irish Reel that day and is no better off at the weights here. DUSTY TRAIL has hardly run a bad race on Turf this year and is now 4lb lower than when successful over 1m4f here just over a year ago. Joseph O'Brien takes the ride and he can gain a deserved success today. Takashi Kodama's pair Mountain Woman and Asian Wing could prove best of the rest.
