Sister Lola, who is better over 7f, is up 7lb for completing a Dundalk double and was over four lengths behind Red Heel at Leopardstown earlier. The latter had won here previously and should go well though FICTITIOUS LADY looks well treated. She's actually been dropped in the ratings since landing a maiden here last month and looks the one to beat. Sheer Chance was sent to Doncaster for a much better race than this but was well beaten though she's better judged on her two previous efforts in maidens. Stormy Jenn went up 14lb for her Gowran victory but ran a cracking race at Punchestown last time and has to be respected with Colin Keane taking over from an apprentice.
