LISTEN DEAR will be a short price despite being narrowly beaten on her debut between the flags at Largy in May where she led until caught on the line. She doesn't have much to beat and looks another for the yard. Morante would have finished closer at Punchestown last month but for being impeded so he can get into the frame but Briar Lane let supporters down when strongly supported for his debut at Limerick. The remainder will all need to improve on what they have shown so far.
