Verdict
Snap Alam looked a sure-fire future winner when narrowly beaten by Anaverna at Wexford but didn't run as well as expected at Navan next time and looked rather one-paced that day so will need to return to her previous form if she is to justify likely short odds here. SUPER SAY made a belated racecourse debut at the Curragh last Sunday and ran an absolute blinder, taking the lead 2f out and only headed well inside the final furlong. With that experience under his belt Andrew Oliver's charge can prove strong enough against his younger rivals. Majestic Pearl has run well on fast ground here in the past though he's untested at this distance.
