Blue Dahlia beat a big field on soft ground here in March when Tommy Stack's horses were in unbeatable form and may have been finding the going too lively in subsequent races. Dotada is back on her highest-ever mark after scoring over the trip at Fairyhouse while Daffodil Walk is also looking a few pounds high at present. Dreamalittledream had just three rivals to beat at Down Royal which she did with ease before running well behind Miss Faustina at Sligo though both of those events were over 7f. DAWN ECLIPSE returned to action after a long break to beat a huge field over the C&D in June. She has performed with credit from her revised mark over 7f on two subsequent outings and the return to today's trip is just what she needs.
