It's a surprise to see MUTHAZA dropping down to this trip after a very impressive debut victory over 2m5f at Tramore for Willie Mullins. Three times a winner in France, she looks a very smart prospect and her allowance is a bonus. Cradle Mountain is another dropping back in trip after failing to catch Bright Tomorrow over 2m4f at Wexford but that was still a fine run and he should get competitive. Joseph O'Brien also runs the newcomer Let's Twist Again, a son of Galileo and related to five winners. Buyer Beware has been running quite well and would appreciate further rain though this looks a stiff task.
