Blondes No More was returning from a long absence when battling to victory over the minimum at Clonmel and will be better suited by the extra. In A Pinch also scored over the minimum on this track last month when leading at the last and staying on strongly so she's another who will enjoy the longer trip. Lady Mangan had been floundering on heavy going but conditions were better when she was just beaten over 2m here last time so she's an obvious contender but Stonehall Jack may need a bit further on this sort of ground. SHANTELLE found 3m1f stretching her stamina at Ballinrobe after scoring there a few weeks earlier so gets the nod in an open contest.
