LADY PENELOPE obviously developed over the winter and was impressive when beating You'resobeautiful in a Naas Listed contest last month. The runner-up will be 3lb better off and there looks little between the pair though the positions can be confirmed. Precious Moments and Punita Arora were both behind and look held but Peace Charter looks a threat. Ger Lyons' filly didn't get the run of the race in a Leopardstown Group 3 on her return and should get very much closer here. Pronouncement had some smart form in her first campaign and battled on really well to land a Naas maiden on her return.
