Escapability made such a promising reappearance on soft going at Naas that he started odds-on at Cork a few weeks later but couldn't handle heavy going and was beaten a long way into second. Irish Minister raced exclusively at Dundalk before sent to Chelmsford for a maiden where he ran poorly. Treble Cone has only raced at Dundalk and will need to improve on his Turf debut while My Snowdrop was a disappointing favourite at Limerick. SHAREVA has the overall form for this and should lose her maiden tag. Her narrow defeat by Raintree at Leopardstown is the best form on view and tonight's better ground should be ideal.
