ALSALWA took some time to warm to her task when reappearing at Naas last month but looked impressive when getting on top in the latter stages. She could be a blot on this handicap off 90 as she is evidently highly regarded as entries in the Pretty Polly and Irish Oaks suggest. She is the only three-year-old in this line-up and most of her rivals are fully exposed including Sunday's Leopardstown winner Camira, who has been raised 9lbs for her victory over Inwood. Drombeg Dawn does her best on fast ground as she once again proved with a cracking run behind Bangalore Gold over the C&D last month. She should get competitive while Dermot Weld's Anywaysmile faced fast going only once in three starts last term and came away from Naas with a convincing success.
