Dark Alliance and Split The Atom have long absences to overcome after their all-weather victories while Battleroftheboyne has failed to take advantage of a slip in the weights, though his turn doesn't look far off. VASONI likes this trip and soft ground as she showed on her comeback at Navan where she finished full of running over a furlong shorter. She looks the one to be on here, though Versilia Gal produced a similar effort at Naas on Monday and looks certain to get involved from this lowly mark.
