Nurse Ryan has yet to strike on the Flat but has won twice over hurdles while Mutiska is the only one of these to have a course and distance success to her credit. PRINCE CHAPARRAL enters the fray in top form having followed his victory over Bobskier at Tramore with a hard-fought success over hurdles there three days later. He's still well handicapped, especially with Shane Gray's claim taken into account, and may just be good enough to see off Timjoe, who has run two fine races recently over trips too short. Zemario has come up against a couple of smart performers in his recent races and could get into the frame.
