Verdict
The two recent runners-up, National Gallery and Mna Na Mhi, have drawn the outside berths in this maximum field which will be difficult for either to overcome. I AM JOKING was close behind the former when they occupied the places early last month and with an inside berth can reverse the form. Ano Syra couldn't get to the winner over 5f last month but won't be inconvenienced by stepping up in trip while Angel Girl is out of a mare who produced a winner with her first offspring. Ger Lyons has two entries though both look as though they may need further.
