Sister Blandina has been placed in six of her seven starts since scoring at Navan last October and is now 6lb higher, though her rider's claim is a plus and she'll be carrying less weight than ONTHEIFLIST. Pat Smullen was on board when the latter ploughed through the Roscommon mud for an easy victory last month and she can complete a double. The Tulip is consistent enough but has never raced on soft ground while Dochasach ran poorly on testing ground at Listowel last week. Lleyton has failed to reach a place in nine starts on the Flat or over hurdles.
