The Last Marju, a smart chaser, hasn't run for three years but scored on the Flat at Sligo that year after a very long absence. Contrapposto was narrowly beaten in a Cork handicap hurdle in April but is 1-33 on the Flat. Storm Steps, three-times a winner at Dundalk, has only been placed once in eleven attempts on Turf while Clueless Hill hasn't managed to follow-up a narrow victory at Dundalk in November. Tony Martin and Colin Keane look a winning combination so a chance is taken on DRACO PULCHRAC on her first start over the trip but Miss Cunning's comfortable victory at Listowel on Sunday came over a mile and she's never raced over this far.
