Jaafel is still a maiden but he'd been performing well at Dundalk before fine runs at the Curragh and Leopardstown so should be winning soon. He had Je T'ai Porte and Mary Salome behind in that Curragh event though the latter didn't get the best of runs. MISS FLORENTINE was in excellent form on good going all last summer until finding 1m2f on yielding ground beyond her at Naas. She can make a winning reappearance even though Drombeg Duke is just 3lb higher than when scoring at Dundalk in October and made a promising return to action at Gowran. Reverberation is much better handicapped on the all-weather but Harbanaker looks a threat from this mark as he's very consistent at this sort of level.
