Verdict
American Sonja was conceding 11lb when caught on the line in a 7f nursery here last month and will be difficult to catch over this trip. Clounmacon has been beaten narrowly in both starts over 7f here and at Gowran so should also be suited by dropping down. NET A PORTER QUEEN made a very bright start over the track and trip last month and with normal progress can get off the mark. Mccauley's Tavern is well exposed but was staying on strongly in a Naas nursery when conceding the winner 16lb.
