Verdict
The three-year-old Miss Jabeam is a good starting point having followed last month's victory on this track with another from 7lb higher at Leopardstown. She's up another 4lb and this looks tougher. Fridtjof Nansen gained his first ever victory on his 18th start when beating a huge field over the course and distance though a 10lb rise looks harsh. Erich Bloch beat a big field of maidens at Naas last November but hasn't run since a moderate reappearance there in May. Mary Salome was run out of it close home over 7f at Gowran and this is her trip and ground but Alfredo Arcano is much better on the all-weather though reverts to Turf on an 11lb lower mark. SILVERKODE (NAP) completed a hat-trick on the track in 2017 and not surprisingly shot up the weights. He's gradually slipped to a winnable mark and was having his first start since May when running well here a couple of weeks ago so gets the vote.
