Lily's Star has suffered with a 4lb rise for her relatively close proximity to the high-class Sea Siren at Fairyhouse on Sunday. She had previously finished fourth at Roscommon in a race where the first three are all engaged here and it's the winner, ANGELA'S DREAM, who gets the vote to confirm the form. She showed real battling qualities to hold off One True Love and Conversational, who both looked to be travelling better, and the extra furlong here will be in her favour. Pearl Of Africa is progressing fast and followed her Dundalk success with a battling victory on soft ground at Limerick but she has an 8lb rise to contend with and has never faced ground this fast. None of the remainder can be dismissed in a very tight handicap.
