MARIA BRANWELL, twice a winner in the UK, just failed to hang on in a premier handicap at the Curragh earlier this month and can go one better. Screen Siren had been steadily improving before landing a Navan handicap but has gone up 10lb though should still hold Curraheen Princess on that run. Escaping Thejungle has been narrowly beaten the last twice over the trip and been dropped a couple of pounds in the ratings. Loveday was a smart two-year-old who has performed in softer conditions than ideal in subsequent starts.
