Aidan O'Brien has entered two with CALL ME SWEETHEART looking best of the pair. She enters handicap company on a mark of 81 after last month's victory over this trip at the Curragh but could still be underestimated. Prince Of Verona looked to have a bit in hand at Naas last weekend but a 9lb rise and an extra two furlongs may prove too much for him. Snowy Owl had been showing good form before the Ulster Derby where he can't have been right but the obvious threat to the selection is Female Approach, up 8lb for completing a double in minor company at Limerick after scoring over this track and trip.
