Croisultan beat Rock Jock narrowly in this a year ago but is penalised and hasn't scored since. The runner-up is on an even longer losing spell but has been running well recently as has Santa Padre, who was fifth a year ago. Duff also continues to run well without winning though over further in his recent races and with Ger Lyons' horses in outstanding form it would be no surprise to see Peahen snatch the spoils as she produced her best run over today's trip. ROSE BONHEUR has only been unplaced once in eight starts - in the Irish 1000 Guineas - and she was in front at this trip when a close third behind Emulous in a Group 3 over 7f here last month, form that should be good enough for this.
