Aidan O'Brien has won this eight times in twelve renewals and is double-handed here with the lightly-raced Lullaby likely to prove better than the handicapper Cyclamen. However, Jessica Harrington looks to have much stronger claims with her trio of last-time-out winners. Shane Foley would have had the pick and has gone for Punchestown maiden winner Alizarine though dual nursery winner Viareggio has Colin Keane on board and Nathan Crosse rode Willesee to an easy maiden victory here last month. Paddy Twomey won the race a year ago and Limiti Di Greccio should make a bold bid to complete the double. He's only raced at Leopardstown so far, winning a maiden there in August before just failing to overhaul Panama Red in Listed company last month. SUNSET SHIRAZ has had three runs on this track since returning in August, being placed each time at Group level. She couldn't quite hold the late thrust of Concert Hall last time and can lose her maiden tag. She's Trouble and Angels Wrath look best of the remainder.
