In depth
Verdict
Several of these have been finding it very difficult to get on the scoresheet including Via Ballycroy, though her staying-on second to Cape Of Approval over 5f at Tipperary was boosted when the winner scored again at Cork on Sunday. Danziger was only three-quarters of a length behind at Tipperary but looked very one paced at Naas the following day. RIGOLETTA is the definite form pick on her second to Redoubtable over this trip at the Curragh in March but hasn't been seen since a poor run when sent over a mile at Naas the following month. She's given the chance to make amends here. Susiescot has mainly tackled better class opposition though always over further. She ran a shocker on fast ground over 7f at Down Royal in June but is much better than that and it's just a question of if she has the pace for this.
