Amma Grace carries a penalty for her Listed success on testing ground at Leopardstown in October, a deserved victory after running well all season. She'll have to concede 17lb to FRENCH FUSION and that could prove beyond her if the expected rain turns the ground soft. Jim Bolger's filly couldn't quite get to Rocky Sky at Navan on her comeback but the going was too quick and she's better judged on her Galway maiden victory in heavy conditions. Insinuendo was impressive when landing a course and distance maiden in September and was narrowly beaten over a trip too short at Tipperary last month so she looks a major player. Tartlette has won four times on the all-weather but is 0-10 on Turf while Empress Josephine wasn't suited by dropping back to 7f in a Leopardstown Group 3 after her maiden victory over a mile.
