Orandi scored twice on the all-weather at Pau and on soft ground at Longchamp in June before joining Tony Martin. Toriangel had been running well in Turf maidens all summer before a winning debut here last month and makes her handicap debut. HOTROCKET (NAP) has joined Joseph O'Brien after easily landing a Fairyhouse maiden in July. He's with the right yard to exploit what could prove a lenient handicap mark. Marsa has won three times here and beat track specialist Hodd's Girl with a bit to spare last time so has to be of interest as does Super Over, who beat another regular winner here in Eglish last month. Final Voyage found 6f too short last time and should be winning soon while Might And Mercy scored over the trip at Cork and very nearly followed up here on Friday.
