Verdict
Michael Halford's horses have been in top form and Dabirann will have come on for his run here three weeks ago. White Birch has an all-weather pedigree so did well to finish fifth at Naas while BATAAN put a moderate debut behind her with a much better effort here earlier this month. Rushed into the lead that day, she only faded near the finish and can make enough progress to get off the mark. Brasilian Princess showed promise in the UK and made a fine start for new connections here a fortnight ago when beaten less than a length. Zurana ran quite well in what looked a better race than this here earlier in the month while Cash Out is by No Nay Never out of a very well-connected mare and is a newcomer to note.
