In depth

Verdict

A low draw is usually a help here which could rule out Coffeemeanscoffee, who was sent to Bath for her latest run and chased home Storm Melody on very fast going. SILK CRAVAT has the inside berth and though he's never won in 18 starts on Turf the four-times all-weather winner ran a fine race when a close third at Leopardstown and has been dropped 1lb in the ratings. Forza Libranno is 1-31 but has been given a chance by the assessor but Hey Pretty, who has won around here, hasn't been in the best of form and was behind La Novia, last year's winner of this, at Dundalk in January though the winner has changed stables and has a high draw. The latter remark also applies to Hidden Spark, who is without a win in 14 starts.
