Almost all of these having been racing at Dundalk and Billboa was well supported when placed in a 6f maiden last month. Greek Flower had shown potential on Turf before two fine runs on the Polytrack in the Autumn while Oneplusone showed massive improvement from her opening run when placed there in December. Beaumadier was a 200/1 chance when fourth at Naas a couple of weeks ago. Two Star is related to three winners and NATIONAL QUESTION is a half-brother to Group 1 winner Loch Garman and other winners so gets a speculative vote.
