Verdict
Maunsells Duke will probably be all the rage here despite a long absence. However, his only success last season came courtesy of the stewards at Dundalk and a mile is the shortest trip he has attempted. SEE YOU SMILE may prove a better alternative as her only victory to date has been over 6f on fast ground here and she ran very well behind Geraldine's Lass over the C&D last month when Primalova was behind. Mo Saoirse hasn't shown much but makes her handicap debut from a lowly mark and may do better but The Educator looked as though another furlong was required when staying on behind Maarek here in April.
