MALLACOOTA is the form pick on her close third to Happen at Leopardstown in October, especially as the winner finished runner-up in a Group 3 on her reappearance. Jessica Harrington's filly will need to be somewhere near her best here as Dunkirk Harbour wasn't given a hard time on his return to action at Navan and will be much better suited by this longer trip. Pearlman couldn't quite hold Mouriyani over the course and distance last month but the winner could turn out to be smart. The remaining pair haven't shown enough to be considered.
