Willie Mullins has two entries here. Foveros scored on the Flat in France and three times over hurdles while Sayo has a similar profile and is rated 6lb higher over timber. Tonkinese has a fitness advantage having finished second over the trip at Fairyhouse last week while LYRICAL ATTRACTION (NAP) appears to be improving and was only just touched off at Roscommon last week. The latter gets the vote as Maria Christina, who set the pace for an unsuccessful stable companion in the Group 2 Moorebridge Stakes here a couple of weeks ago, gained her maiden victory on very testing ground.
