Coreczka has a cracking all-weather record and completed a double when scoring over the track and trip last month. She has never won from a mark this high but is running so well that it will be a surprise if she isn't there at the finish. However, Silk Cravat was beaten just a neck when conceding 7lb in that latter event after winning a Laytown maiden so should reverse the places on these terms. Bien Chase was further behind and looks held but Covetous had been threatening to win for some time before landing a Fairyhouse maiden and has the scope for further progress on her handicap debut. Pat Smullen was on board when ROSE ANJOU won at Bellewstown but not when she made her debut on this surface where she finished strongly. She's on the same mark here and can return to winning ways.
