Mick Channon sends Apple Anni over from the UK though she didn't run as well as expected when coming here last month. Quizical landed a Gowran maiden then ran very well in a tough Listowel nursery so he should be thereabouts while Ball Girl is top-rated though punters would need to forgive a very poor effort in a Group 3 here last month. YULONG GOLD FAIRY stepped up to this trip on soft going at Galway and beat Quizical a length. They meet on identical terms here so Dermot Weld's filly can come out on top again and land this lucrative prize. The Broghie Man looked a certain future winner when a close third here last month and Kevin Manning has been released from Vocal Music to ride him.
