Yafordadoe comfortably landed a Cork maiden last month and has subsequently run well on the Flat so looks well handicapped. Laura Bullion had Battle Of Wills a long way behind when scoring at Bellewstown and should do so again while Hammersmith was last seen in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown in February, though he was outclassed. SWELLTIME had no difficulty losing his maiden tag at Gowran and the pair that chased him home at a distance have both won subsequently so Joe Murphy's charge can go in again.
