Several of these arrive in very good form including Sister Blandina, who encountered soft ground for the first time at Bath last month and gained a comfortable success. She's 8lb higher and is up against PAPAL MOTEL, who was a surprise but comfortable winner at Limerick on Friday. The going was fast on that occasion but a 5lb penalty is partly offset by the 2lb lower mark and he's taken to complete a quick double. Joseph O'Brien's No Biggie also scored on fast ground at Leopardstown and is on the upgrade while Escape Paradise followed her Clonmel victory with a very good run behind the in-form Ceol Na Nog at Navan. Phebes Dream has yet to win but it won't be long coming judged on her excellent run behind Zig Zag at Gowran while Aa Bee See is another maiden who looks certain to get his head in front soon after a narrow defeat at Wexford.
