Sir Ottoman had won in France and the UK before a very easy victory on the beach at Laytown and has moved to a yard that gets plenty of winners here. His stable companion Kasbah has a good record around here while Highly Approved is 3-7 on the track and scored on Turf in July. Early Call is a Navan specialist having won twice there this summer though has nothing in hand of TIE A YELLOWRIBBON on their 1-2 there earlier this month and the latter, who was having only her second start for new connections, can reverse the form and take this. Lily's Prince, who has won five times on the track, is held on that latter run. Scream make a quick reappearance after a very good run at Fairyhouse on Monday and has dropped to a lowly mark though this is her all-weather debut.
