Smiling Eliza gained reward for her consistency when scoring on fast ground at Navan. But she's facing older horses for the first time and is 2lb out of the handicap so this is tougher. Scoil Naisiunta has won twice over a mile but the only time she ran over this trip she was well beaten. However, she wouldn't be coming here unless connections believed she'll stay so is an obvious threat. HAREBELL won twice in the UK and showed signs at Navan last time that his turn was near so he's handed the vote as Total Demolition couldn't handle a 7lb rise for his Killarney victory when running moderately at Leopardstown. The veteran Sennockian Star has transferred from Mark Johnston on a very lowly mark and if Seamus Fahey has him ready to run he would have to be considered.
