MAYBE had to scramble to land the odds in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time but runner-up La Collina is very useful and that looks the strongest form on offer. Teolane had looked a very classy performer before the Albany Stakes at Ascot where she blotted her copybook by missing the break and failing to act on the soft ground. She's much better than that and Kevin Manning picks her over her progressive stablemate Tiffilia. Remember Alexander looks the biggest threat as she was a very impressive winner of a Group 3 at Leopardstown and any further rain would greatly aid her cause.
