Spin found the 2m1f of Doncaster's Park Hill Stakes much too far last time and is better judged on her run behind Zanughan in a Galway Listed contest earlier. Mohedian Lady was a little disappointing when stepped up to this trip for the first time in a handicap at Leopardstown and will need to do better as will Parvana, well beaten in a Goodwood handicap last time. Brushing has been highly tried since scoring at this level at York last August and is better than form figures suggest but it's CILL RIALAIG who gets the nod as she is ideally suited to this trip and should have won a similar race to this in France last time where she met trouble in-running.
