In depth

Verdict

The form of Indian Lilac's victory here last month could be given a boost in the previous race as several of those who finished behind turn out there. An 8lb rise looks a bit harsh but she's progressive so should give another good account. Miss Myers makes a quick reappearance after a fine run over 1m2f at Roscommon on Monday where she led at around this trip before being caught close home. It's a long time since she won but she's greatly respected. The three-year-old MALAYSIAN (NAP) has only had three runs, beating subsequent winner Belmont Avenue at Cork in September before finding soft ground against her on her return to action at the Curragh. She's potentially well handicapped and looks the one to be on. Howyoulikethat has only run at Dundalk where he scored in February but could be well treated for his Turf debut.
