Verdict
Low numbers have held the upper hand in the past few years and Foxtrot Liv, who has the inside berth, made a promising start over 6f at Naas. Fire Fly is also drawn low and ran well for a long way in a Group 3 here three weeks ago so has to be on the shortlist. Her stable companion Mona Lisa's Smile is by War Front out of the dual Oaks winner Imagine and closely related to a host of winners including Horatio Nelson and Viscount Nelson. She'll be better over further but is definitely one to note. Another Ballydoyle entry, Credenza, is by Galileo out of a winning sprinter so should have enough pace for this. CHOCOLATE MUSIC cost 200,000gns and made a bright start behind experienced rivals at Fairyhouse. She's handed the vote though Ger Lyons is having a cracking season with his juveniles though Burmese Waltz might find stall 17 against her.
