Verdict
Ela Katrina takes a huge step-up in trip after scoring over 1m2f at Dundalk but there's plenty of stamina in her pedigree and Sam Ewing's claim is a bonus. Place Des Vosges is in cracking form and has only been raised 3lb for scoring at Tipperary. With the ground and trip in her favour she has to be a threat to all though Jazz Lady wasn't far behind and has a decent pull in the weights. FULL MOON MAGIC looked one to follow when scoring over 1m4f at Leopardstown and was backed accordingly on a return visit but got no sort of run and compensation awaits. Yulong Pearlisland took advantage of heavy going at Roscommon and is a thorough staying type so a strong gallop will play to his strengths.
