This has been run twice and Dermot Weld has won both with long odds-on chances. The stable is represented by the only newcomer in MOUNIRA, and she's taken to make a successful start as she's a half-sister to five winners and out of a very smart middle-distance mare. Those with experience have been looking a bit short on quality including Eavesdrop, who has been staying on at one pace over similar trips, and Fly By, though the latter should be suited by this slightly longer trip. Nonetheless couldn't quicken when third over the trip at the Curragh but has more scope than most of these and should do better, though Gabardine could provide the main threat. The Godolphin filly has been running on strongly at the end of 1m2f on her last two starts and this looks ideal.
