Tracey Collins has a high-class recruit from Italy in Group 1 winner Aoife Alainn but she withdrew her from a race at Naas earlier this month because of unsuitably fast ground. LOLLY FOR DOLLY landed a Group 3 over the C&D on soft ground in March and followed up in heavy conditions the following month but the going was fast when she just failed to catch Emiyna over 7f here recently and she should get back to winning ways. Termagant, who finished fourth in the first of those races, has since been well beaten over 1m2f and can do better back over this trip. Emulous has plenty to find with the selection on their run here in April but she was totally unsuited by the going and is expected to get much closer.
