Verdict

BATTLEROFTHEBOYNE has won around here and usually goes well on the track, as he did when runner-up in a huge field from a poor draw in September. He's been given a chance by the handicapper and should go well at a fair price. Accalia ended the last campaign with a narrow defeat here and is surprisingly 1lb lower so must be feared if ready after a break. Sweetest Taboo hails from a yard in top form and looked back to her best on fast ground at Naas while Times In Anatefka reverts to Turf on a 7lb lower mark than on the all-weather and has had a nice break since completing a Dundalk double. The lightly-raced Jenniechild won a maiden here as a juvenile though hasn't run since September, but A Few Dollars More has produced two cracking efforts from around this mark recently and enters the equation despite a huge weight.
