Nika Pika's Navan victory was in a claimer but Dont Do Dramas made all to beat Guest Star half-a-length at Gowran. The latter will be 3lb better off so there's nothing between them. The fourth Thia looks held but DOLCE FAR NIENTE was beaten less than two lengths in third on only her fourth start so normal progress can see her turn the tables and land this. Barley Cove's last two runs have been over an extended 5f where he's been staying on and he has to have a chance at this trip.
