Scholastic looked ideally suited by a mile and soft ground at the Curragh last week but runner-up DRAGON OF MALTA is taken to reverse the form over this trip and on the revised terms. Third-placed Sasta should also get much closer over the shorter trip as should the fourth Miss Adventurous, who was making her handicap debut. Meeting looks more of a threat as she was leading at this trip when tackling a mile at Leopardstown last weekend while Saphiri ran her best race to date over an extended 6f at the Curragh on Monday.
