Isosceles battled on really well to land a maiden over the course and distance last month and there's plenty more to come though this looks tougher and the concession of 8lb to GOLD JASMINE may prove beyond him. Ken Condon's filly showed plenty of potential in her first campaign and has only been raised 3lb for her comeback victory over 7f last week when she was awarded the race after interference. Cuban Hope started favourite for that latter event and wasn't beaten far while Dandy Belle ran some fair races on Turf last summer and makes her all-weather debut. Joseph O'Brien has two entries though neither has been in the best of form.
