This shouldn't take too much winning and MAID FROM MILAN, who started a short-priced favourite when easily landing a Downpatrick bumper last August, can make a winning start over obstacles. Capitoline Hill has performed with credit three times on very testing ground and may be better suited by today's likely better conditions. Aughwilliam Lady showed the benefit of her introductory run at Clonmel with a very promising effort behind Princess Marlan at Navan and could be the one to bustle up the selection as Lord Ben and Inquisitive Look appear moderate.
