In depth

Verdict

This looks likely to revolve around ANGELS GUARD THEE. She romped home at Roscommon when last seen on the track in October and, if running anywhere near that level on her return, Tommy Stack's filly will prove the one to beat. Golden Shoe went close at the Curragh last week and has a shout with a similar effort while the likes of Jazz Girl and Spirit Of Concorde have the past form to figure if back to their best. Traveller's Tales could prove best of the rest after showing a bit more at Sligo last time.
