Rol'over Beethoven has more to do under his 6lb penalty, especially having been beaten at Naas since winning at Fairyhouse, and is readily opposable with preference for Heaven Sent, who gets the vote ahead of Obe Brave. The selection won with plenty in hand at Newmarket last time and a 6lb rise for that looks perfectly fair. Song of Silence has the ability to take a hand but has flattered to deceive in the past and is hard to back with confidence. Orchard Supreme was in good heart on the sand during the winter but has yet to translate the same level of form onto the turf. Kevin Ryan's Blades Girl looks to be going the right way and has to be considered along with recent Lingfield winner Creative Mind. Namid Reprobate has claims on form but Paul Cole's colt has been done few favours with the draw; however, there are no such problems for Heaven Sent who gets the vote.
