Timeless Soul, a winner at Beverley for Roger Varian, wasn't disgraced in a much better race than this at the Curragh last month and her rider's claim is a massive plus. Stablemate Grecian Slipper has been racing over much further, including in a 1m6f Listed race at Gowran last time, and should find this much more to her liking. Enfranchise was in very good form for the Johnston yard last summer and has had three runs for new connections over hurdles in recent weeks while Galactica has also been in action over timber, though she was beaten nine lengths over 1m5f at Fairyhouse last week. SATIN landed a Listowel maiden but got going too late in a premier handicap at Navan. She's a couple of pounds out of the handicap but could still be reasonably treated.
