MIDST has had numerous engagements since a promising debut at Fairyhouse in September so should be ready for this and is handed the vote. Spirit Glance started favourite here last week but didn't get the run of the race and would have finished closer while Sweetie Jar's two latest runs have been over the minimum trip but she was staying on nicely last time. She was beaten earlier over today's distance but should be stronger now and rates a threat. Aidan O'Brien's Ruby Gates isn't one of the yard's blue-bloods but will know her job while Touch Of Gold is one to keep an eye on as everything went wrong on her debut here last month and she still wasn't beaten far.
