Mlily, still a maiden after 18 starts, ran her best race for a while over 2m3f at Clonmel last week and wouldn't need much more. Dicey should be winning soon though whether she'll handle the going is another matter. Robin Deuz Pois showed the occasional glimmer of potential for Paul Webber in the UK but SE MO LAOCH has failed to take advantage of a much lower hurdles rating the last twice. However, the latter has the form for this if at his best and looks the one to beat.
