Push Me has new connections after showing good form on the AW in the UK. She's on a reasonable mark but BLACKWITCH WOMAN has a much more experienced pilot in the saddle and that may make the difference. A very good runner-up to Salazaar at Sligo at the end of last month, she loves fast ground and this is her level. Irish Reel's best form has been on polytrack and testing ground and she finished last of four at Down Royal last month. After scoring over this trip at Down Royal, Academic Accolade found 7f much too short at Fairyhouse and must be a threat back over his best distance. Diyla scored over timber at Sligo in May but appears to need some give in the ground.
