Royal Blend would be the form pick on her close fifth in a Tipperary Listed contest though she hasn't been seen since October. Her stable companion I Siyou Baby showed marked improvement on her earlier runs when beaten a head at Naas, with Beagnach Sasta behind, and wouldn't need much more though she was behind Tellthemi'mehere at Leopardstown. GIVE HER A SQUEEZE ran so well when runner-up to the classy Friendly at Bellewstown that's she's earned the vote though Shabaya will have come on for her run here last month.
