Several of these arrive in top form, none more so that Kimbay, who is on a four-timer. Noel Lawlor's filly is on a 17lb higher mark than when her winning run began and though taking a step-up in class has to be on the shortlist. Whaileyy scrambled home in a 7f claimer before completing a double in a handicap for which he's been raised 6lb and that may be enough to prevent a hat-trick. SERENITY SPA (NAP) has won on all types of going and her last two runs have been in Listed company where she hasn't been disgraced. Tony Carroll loves his visits here and with Pat Smullen booked his filly should be good enough. This looks a bit short for Antiquus, whose last run was over a mile but Strategic Heights completed a hat-trick over 5f in January and doesn't look badly treated on that evidence. Maontri completed a four-timer at the beginning of the year though over longer trips and this will be her first start over this short.
