Mighty Blue beat Effernock Fizz, who was engaged at Killarney yesterday, easily in this in 2020 and they meet on the same terms. The lightly-raced Kazakdaria has run well here the last twice while Kerkiyra just held on when tackling 1m2f for the first time here last month. The latter will almost certainly be suited by the extra while Pachmena is running well though a strike-rate of 1-31 doesn't inspire confidence. DARK VEGA (NAP) has been crying out for this trip, staying on strongly over 1m2f, so gets the nod in a tight handicap.
