Phebes Wish scored on Polytrack at Wolverhampton and Dundalk and has to race from a 12lb higher mark in this much tougher event as a consequence. Ahaaly was the impressive winner of a Dundalk maiden over 6f then failed to fire in a Naas Listed contest over an extra furlong. This is more his class and can make a bold bid under a 10lb claimer as can Faleena, who was conceding a huge amount of weight to the runner-up when scoring at Navan a month ago. Greek Canyon has never raced over this trip on Turf and appeared to need every yard of the 6f when scoring at Naas in May while Battleoftheboyne is also suited by an extra furlong. BOGINI is in superb form and will love the testing ground so she's taken to complete her four-timer after her two victories in the UK and a smooth success at Leopardstown last night.
