The drop back to 2m produced the desired results last time for PASS THE TIME and Neil Mulholland's talented mare can make the most of the weight she receives from Irish raiders Analifet and Princess Leya. The latter pair clashed in a Grade 3 at Leopardstown last month over 2m4f and were alongside when Analifet crashed out at the second-last - Princess Leya eventually stayed on into third but might not be suited by the drop in distance. Koolala ran with promise on her reappearance but has little chance against the selection on their run together here just under a year ago. Nyanza beat Intense Tango at Aintree in the autumn but the latter has won since and should reverse running on 5lb better terms.
