Verdict
It looks like another for the champion trainer here via DARE TO DOUBT, who should be suited by the trip after a disappointing defeat over the minimum at Cork last time where she appeared to get outbattled by Foildubh, who has scored subsequently. Fairly Definite hasn't had much experience and may make enough progress to reverse recent Tramore running with Coolharbour Breeze over this longer trip. Winning point-to-pointer Sonus Beauty is another who found two miles too short last time after an excellent second over 2m4f at Cork, while What An Flyer and Misspublican can ensure the selection knows she's been in a race.
