Gopsies Daughter had shown potential in the spring before beating a big field of handicappers at Cork where she battled on strongly. However, she was receiving 11lb from PILLAR (NAP) when beaten half-a-length at Navan and the latter will be 16lb better off here taking claims into consideration. She was behind in that Cork event but got no sort of run and has since performed with credit on the same track. A Likely Story has never won but been placed 10 times in 14 starts and he'll have needed his comeback at the Curragh while Sweetest Taboo is closely matched with the selection on their run at Navan and has a course and distance victory to her credit.
