Charming Lady was receiving 16lb when just hanging on from Polar Bear at Bellewstown with Mythical Princess having had every chance in fourth. The runner-up just has the better of the weights here and can reverse the places. DISTILLATE beat a huge field over 6f at Naas then just failed in another big line-up over this trip at Navan. He looks the one to beat though Smullen's Pride had been going well before getting off the mark in a maiden here earlier this month and doesn't look badly treated for her handicap debut.
