JESSAMINE had been threatening to win before getting off the mark here three weeks ago and runner-up Lunada looks to have a good chance in the first division. Pat Flynn's charge is only 4lb higher and, with more progress likely, can complete a double. Lorendano has yet to win but wasn't beaten far over a mile here last time and looks to have a bit of scope but Specific Gravity is inconsistent and looks to have plenty to do. Royal Roslea won twice for Marcus Tregoning and scored over 1m4f on soft ground at Bellewstown for new connections. She started favourite for a handicap at the Curragh last time and, though not performing up to scratch, this doesn't look as tough.
