Verdict
Surrounding won this in 2018/19 and finished second the next two years. She won a Listed contest at Galway in July and didn't run badly under a big weight in a handicap here last month. Ger Lyons has a strong hand with the three-year-olds Juncture and Smile Of Love. Colin Keane chooses the former, a Listed winner here and placed in two Group 3's on Turf in August. Neptune Rock was well beaten in this last year but bounced back to form in a Listed race at Listowel for which she's penalised. MEHNAH won on her debut here two years ago and landed a Listed race at Killarney last summer. She didn't reappear until last month and wasn't beaten far behind Toy at Naas with several of these behind, so gets the nod.
