Another tough handicap for punters but SONAIYLA does have scope for improvement off her current mark and is taken to notch a second career success on her eighth start. Hold-up tactics appear the order of the day with the Dark Angel filly and hopefully Ronan Whelan can navigate a successful passage. Deira Surprise and Syrena afford Joseph O'Brien a double chance and Baladiya has a reasonable shout if forgiven a relatively modest effort last time. The extra furlong should assist the Weld filly. Mater Matuta is another potential improver, whilst Galtee Mist and Rita Levi cannot be excluded from calculations after both scored in battling style at the Galway festival.
