Smash Williams has yet to replicate his excellent juvenile form though he's only run once in a handicap when beaten a head at Naas in March. Oneoveryou hails from a yard going well though he's better handicapped on the all-weather, despite winning five times at Dundalk. St Brelades Bay is happy on any sort of ground and looks reasonably treated though would prefer another furlong. Alfredo Arcano is a consistent performer at this level though has never won on Turf so it's the three-year-old BLUE ULURU who looks the one to be on. A nursery winner here in September, she was carrying a huge weight when just failing to cope with Red Persian over an extra furlong at Dundalk on her reappearance and can go one better.
