Dolcita only had half-a-length to spare over Ballyshannon Rose in a Clonmel Listed contest when receiving 11lb but this is her track and trip as she won twice here earlier this year. SCARLET AND DOVE was 15 lengths behind at Clonmel but had been in excellent form in the spring and looks capable of reversing the form. Agusta Gold won this two years ago but hasn't scored subsequently and her latest effort came over hurdles. Fairyhill Run completed a hat-trick in 2021 and has been racing in much stronger company. She led for much of the way when tackling 3m5f here last month and has to be considered.
