Monarch Maid is usually thereabouts without being good enough and the same can be said of Dalness Express. The latter was placed over 7f here last time while Storm Melody has bits of form but just the one win in 23 attempts and Mooroverthebridge is preferred on last month’s double over shorter trips. Oliveraie won at the Curragh back in 2015 though hasn’t raced since so JAALBOOT makes most appeal with Mark Johnston’s three-year-old expected to improve further on the back of a placed effort at Brighton.
