A very good prize has attracted a strong field headed by Nation's Call, narrowly beaten in a couple of strong maidens before landing one at Gowran. Galway maiden winner Roman Hands is another making his handicap bow and he made a bold bid to lead all at Listowel earlier this month. SEMBLANCE OF ORDER is a bit unlucky not to be on a four-timer as he was only beaten a head over 7f here in-between victories at Sligo and Leopardstown. He can win again though there are plenty of dangers including Booyea, up 10lb for a convincing success at Gowran, and Golden Spangle, still a maiden but beaten in tight finishes the last twice.
