Haraz has produced his two best runs to date over this course and distance including a similar race to this last time and Sean Corby's claim will be a bonus. Jealous Beauty was staying on over the minimum last time but this is a big step up and Gealan has never run beyond that trip though looks certain to be suited. Haqeeba disappointed on soft going at Sligo in a first-time visor and is tried in blinkers this time but she was behind both Set To Fire and FAIR GAME that day and it's the latter who gets the vote. Edward O'Grady's filly went to the front in the straight but faded close home but if Fran Berry hangs on to her a bit longer here she may be able to hold on. Berlios was staying on over 6f at the Curragh in July and further progress can see him in the firing line.
