The Dermot Weld team have won this for the past three years and CATCH THE EYE should keep up the sequence. She couldn't quite get to Claiomh Solais at Naas on her latest start in May but the winner has performed with credit at Group level subsequently and the form looks strong. Jouster has had his chances but produced a good effort over a mile at Bellewstown last time and this should prove his best trip. Diamond Daze may well prove the main threat as she did very well to finish runner-up to the four-year-old Gonebeyondthemoon in what looked a strong maiden at Fairyhouse.
