SKY LANTERN is related to nine winners and looked potentially useful when scoring very easily at Goodwood. She faces much stiffer opposition here but can take this for Richard Hannon. Liberating looked a very nice type when beating Infanta Branca at Cork but was behind the runner-up when tacking Listed company at the Curragh last time though she still holds Verbal Honesty on that run. True Verdict made a very encouraging debut behind better fancied stablemate Mironica here last month and further progress is guaranteed as it is for surprise Curragh winner Nandiga, who looked bound for better things when beating a strong field of maidens. Scream Blue Murder came up against a useful prospect in Cristoforo Colombo at Navan and looks a very promising type.
