Verdict
SUMMER STAR was mightily impressive when storming to success here recently and though the going will be much quicker it's difficult to pass her over and she should land the spoils. Knocklong had shown promise before justifying support at Naas and should be in the shake-up while Lady Of Glencoe was noted staying on from the rear when making her debut at Wexford. Sizing Jo'Burg, a 70,000 euros three-year-old, is a half-brother to nine winners including the useful Sky's The Limit and should have enough pace for this along with Bob The Goon, a son of Golan.
