Choungaya hasn't shown much in two runs on heavy going but has a smart pedigree and tonight's ground could see improvement. Shetland Bus followed a fortunate victory between the flags with a fair third in a Tramore bumper though will need much more while Magistralis has an absence to overcome and was well beaten at Naas in February. Vic's Little Miss showed tremendous improvement to finish runner-up at Clonmel but this appears likely to go to one of the newcomers. SWEET FLIGHT has a middle-distance Flat pedigree so may have too much pace on this ground for Ask Neilus, who is bred to be a chaser and is a sister to a winning point-to-pointer.
