Via Del Corso won this a year ago so watch out for her if she gets a run from her reserve spot. DALIYAN had been confined to Polytrack before having just his fourth start on Turf at Limerick where he stayed on strongly to score over a mile. A 6lb rise should be manageable and the extra furlong can see him complete a double. Norah Starr scored over hurdles last month and is on a reasonable enough mark to gain her third victory on the level though she could just find this a bit short. Noble Call ran very well at Clonmel last month but poorly a few days later at Tramore and may have been feeling the effects. Furacano looks a threat as she reverted from Polytrack to run well behind Knights Templar at Gowran while the lightly-raced Al Mancilia also ran well on the same track last month, her first start since December.
