SURROUNDING (NAP) ended last year completing a double in a handicap and in this race and has continued in top form this summer, winning a Fairyhouse Group 3 and a Listed race at Galway. She has to give plenty of weight to the three-year-olds but should be up to the task. Snapraeceps has been racing in Listed and Group 3 company without really showing much though still comes out better than her four stable companions on official ratings. Chablis and Frosty represent Ballydoyle but neither have been in form so the one to chase home the selection could be Kaftan, who was only two lengths behind her at Galway and has plenty of scope.
