Joseph O'Brien has two entries here. Rock The Barzah finished third in a barrier trial at Dundalk but PRAIRIE DANCER looks the stable pick after two good runs in testing conditions at Cork. Choice And Chance made a very promising debut at the Curragh and started a short-priced favourite at Naas but lost her action and was well beaten. Ger Lyons has bounced back to form over the past couple of weeks and Semenya, a half-sister to four winners from 1m2f upwards, is one to note.
