Jessica Harrington won this a year ago and relies on Alamanda, who appreciated the soft ground when just failing to catch Princess Lomi over 1m6f at Leopardstown on Thursday. She can race from the same mark here and should get competitive again. Gerard O'Leary has done a tremendous job with La Chassotte, whose four victories have come with a combined winning distance of less than two lengths though she's beginning to look high in the weights. NOTALOSSONYA was taking on several in-form rivals when beating Bob Le Beau in pleasing style over 1m2f at Leopardstown where he made most and defied a slipped saddle in game fashion. He's just 3lbs higher here and normal progress will see him difficult to beat. Rainforest Magic steps up to this trip for the first time and can't be dismissed in first-time blinkers while the consistent Sailors Warn has the beating of La Chassotte on a couple of earlier runs though is finding it difficult to get his head in front. Driveheron was extremely impressive at Killarney though a 12lbs rise won't aid her cause for a follow-up.
