Verdict
All eyes will be on OSMOTIC here as Gordon Elliott's newcomer is a half-brother to Faugheen. He doesn't look to have a stiff task as Westport Lady ran poorly at Naas last time, her third successive defeat when a short-priced favourite. That's My Dubai didn't enjoy the softer conditions at Wexford after a better run on good ground at Tramore while the remaining trio look like future chasers.
