Guiding is on the upgrade as she showed when scoring over 7f here last month, where she beat the in-form Gatsby Cap, though a 9lb rise makes this more difficult. Bionic Tonic has been steadily improving and there was plenty to like about her close second over this trip at Sligo and she's been left on the same mark. MIACOMET gave notice of better to come with a decent run over 7f here before dropping down slightly in trip and chasing home Little Clarinet in a huge field at the Curragh. Jack Davison's filly should be spot-on for this and gets the vote. Hummingbird ran her best race to date at Leopardstown last week and holds Queen Guanhumara on that run.
