Be Like The Bird was claimed after scoring over 7f at Tipperary and could find this on the short side. Her stable companion GOPSIES DAUGHTER (NAP) would have no problem winning this on her 2018 form which included two victories here and two at the Curragh. She ran a bit better than her form figures suggest last summer and has dropped to a winnable mark. Blastofmagic was only beaten a head in one of those races on this track and is 4lb better off so could provide a threat while Rominintheglomin was sent to the UK for most of her runs last summer, landing a Ffos Las nursery in September.
