Jessica Harrington has won this for the past two years but Princess Severus hasn't shown enough to date to suggest she can continue the sequence. Six Silver Lane is progressing and won nicely at Wexford on Friday for which a 5lb penalty shouldn't halt his improvement. At the opposite end of the weights, A World Apart is tried in blinkers and a return to his juvenile form would enable him to get competitive but Spirit Of Cuba has done her winning over 1m2f on ground with plenty of give. Stylish One is another who has been racing over further and this is more like her trip but it's about time DODGING BULLETS was losing his maiden tag and his recent run behind Tobar Na Gaoise at Leopardstown suggests this could be his day.
