Several unexposed types in this. Iliade Allen has a first start for 577 days and it's interesting to note that Harry Cobden teams up with penalised Irish challenger, MISS OREO. who won with any amount in hand at Fairyhouse just under a month ago. Her experience and guaranteed fitness are taken to prove decisive. Brief Statement and Mrs Tabitha both landed their sole starts to date while Take No Chances was a useful bumper performer and looks the type to make a decent hurdler. Della Casa Lunga pulled up on stable debut last month but her Irish form last season was more than solid.
