Shona Mea was in excellent form at this time a year ago, winning here and at Leopardstown. She's respected despite moderate recent form while Gatsby Cap is another course and distance winner who is gradually dropping to a winnable mark. Strategic Fortune was a 50/1 chance when scoring over 7f at Cork for which he's up 6lb so SUMMER'S DREAM (NAP) looks set to complete a quick double. Just touched off by the in-form Is That Love at Roscommon, she went one better over this course and distance on Monday and can defy a 5lb rise. Neyland and Gregory's Gift are others to consider.
