Verdict
Voyageofdiscovery was staying on strongly when just touched off over a mile at Listowel and has to be considered off just 1lb higher. Pari Passu has won over the trip and ran very well for a long way on his reappearance here last month though this can go to RED SOLE DIVA. She was having only her fifth start when just fading close home over an extra furlong at Gowran and with more to come looks the one to be on. Meryems Way is an obvious threat as she's been in excellent form and was headed in the dying strides from this mark at Listowel last time. Fiannaiocht has yet to win in 15 starts but has gradually dropped to a reasonable mark.
