Eight-times winner Layfayette hasn't run as well as expected in Group 3 company the last twice after landing a Limerick Listed contest. Goldana won a 7f Group 3 on heavy ground here in April so the conditions should aid her cause while Knight To King was sent to France for a Group 2 after a facile debut success at Gowran and led for a long way.
