The consistent Susiescot has been racing over 7f and scored over that trip at the Curragh in August. She was beaten a long way when runner-up at Tipperary last time, though holds Happy Anniversary on that run. Mamma Rosa is 4lb lower than for her only victory at Listowel a year ago and hasn't been running badly. She isn't out of this and nor is Diamond Daze, who is still a maiden despite several near misses but is now on her lowest-ever mark. Emotional Dream prefers slightly further so this can go to MADEIRA GIRL. Christy Roche's filly could hardly have been more impressive when slamming Fast On on heavy ground at the Curragh and, though raised 10lb, her young rider can claim all of that back and a follow-up looks likely.
