Most of these arrive in good form. John Oxx complicates matters by saddling both Killarney winner Aimhirgin Lass, who benefited from stepping up in trip there and is progressing nicely, and Galway maiden winner NONETHELESS, who had subsequent winners Remarkable Lady and Gabardine - both engaged here - behind at the Festival. Jim Bolger is also double-handed and Kevin Manning's presence on board the unexposed Cirin Toinne suggests she's the stable pick over the experienced Ceol Na Nog. It's hard to know what to make of Topaz Clear, who hasn't run since making a successful debut on heavy going at Gowran in April while Morga seems better over further.
