JAZZ LADY is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won very easily on soft ground last month. She had little chance over 7f next time and can reverse earlier Listowel form with L'empathie on much better terms for a narrow defeat and get back to winning ways. Prospectus is better over further but conditions will make this a stamina test and winning hurdler Sayar also enters the equation despite a long absence. There was obviously something amiss when King Pellinor finished tailed off over this trip at Leopardstown as he'd landed a Gowran maiden in heavy ground five days earlier. He's better than that and holds subsequent Navan maiden winner Tidal Action on that Gowran run. Happy Company has dropped to a winning mark and is another to note in a tight handicap.
