ASTADASH won a maiden over course and distance back in November and has switched to Jessica Harrington’s yard since. She looks worth sticking with given several winners have come out of the race including Eagle's Flight and Tooreen Angel. The latter bids for a hat-trick having already beaten subsequent winner Ragtime Red and Blackstone Cliff while Dream Tale steps back up in trip after winning over a mile and is preferred to stablemate Sense Of Worth, who has a 15lb hike to contend with despite winning by only a nose here.
