Ezalli looks best of the older brigade after her fine effort behind Pirateer at the Curragh but this should go to a three-year-old. Kissable has to be the form pick on her close third to Misty For Me in the Moyglare but that was almost a year ago and her absence must be a concern. For that reason it's BIBLE BELT who gets the nod as Jessica Harrington's filly made a sparkling return to action under a big weight in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last month and should be well up to this grade. Sapphire is progressing nicely and made all to score at Naas last time though her earlier close fifth behind Banimpire over this C&D was probably an even better run given the subsequent exploits of the winner.
