Verdict

Echo Knight boasts top rating courtesy of his debut at Gowran in May, but he's shown little in two starts since and Jjs Pride has failed to build on his debut fifth at the Curragh. There was little between The Kernigal and Heir Of Caution when they finished down the field at Dundalk last month, but one of the two newcomers will not have to be anything special to land this. Perhaps Love is related to three winners and could well be good enough but preference is for Kevin Prendergast's filly SLEEPYTIMEGIRL, who is a half-sister to the prolific winner Royal Challenge.
