In depth
Verdict
Enter The Priory has run some very good races but was still a maiden after 15 starts before running at Fairyhouse last night so that result should be monitored. Art Scene has always had ability but has been mainly frustrating until gaining a wide-margin victory at Cork last month. She's been hit with a massive 13lb rise and may struggle to confirm that form. SOFI'S SPIRIT landed a four-timer on Polytrack for Stan Moore back in 2012 and has been in good form for current connections over the past few weeks. She can gain her first victory in Ireland here as Athassel hasn't been seen since November and is still a maiden after 18 starts. Plough Boy won three times for Willie Musson on the all-weather and has shown ability for new connections so shouldn't be dismissed.
