Eglish has improved since returning to the all-weather and won off today’s mark here earlier in the year. Foreign Legion won at Listowel in September but failed to cope with a 7lb rise last time while Sunset Nova has just the one win in 30 outings so far. ROYAL SCHOLAR is less exposed and, having missed out by only a short-head over track and trip last month, Sarah Lynam’s charge may prove the one to side with. Burning Lake finished behind the selection while Muraahin has switched yards having failed to win in 10 starts for Jamie Osborne.
