Verdict
Still Standing was always in the front rank when scoring over slightly shorter at Limerick and a 3lb rise is manageable. The beautifully-bred FREDERICA SOPHIA was having her first start since scoring easily at Leopardstown last July when a close fourth in a big field there last month. She'll be better for the run and the longer trip is certain to suit so she gets the nod. Vultan looked a really nice prospect when halting the winning run of All Class at Roscommon though has been hit with a 14lb rise but Morph Speed arrives with a 6lb penalty for his second recent victory, this time at Leopardstown.
