UK raiders have won this for the past two years and Dan's Dream looks the best of today's trio as she's twice been beaten narrowly in similar events at the Curragh. Surrounding enters the fray in top form having scored at this level and in Listed company this summer. She has a penalty to carry but it will be a surprise if she's not in contention. Dermot Weld has a good record in the race and Titanium Sky was only just behind Surrounding at Galway so should get involved though this revolves around whether SKITTER SCATTER can recapture her juvenile form. Four times a winner in her opening campaign culminating in a brilliant victory over Lady Kaya and Hermosa in the Moyglare, she finished nearly last behind the latter in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket so this should tell us if she's trained on or not.
