Dermot Weld won this last year and is double-handed this time with Carla Bianca and I'M YOURS. Both are very progressive Listed winners and though the former's latest victory is marginally the better of the pair it's the latter who gets the vote as she did it in soft ground over this track and trip last time. Aidan O'Brien has three entries with Beyond Brilliance possibly the best of them though she was behind Carla Bianca at Naas. Lahinch Classics has to be a major threat after her superb run over this trip in a Group 2 at the Curragh where she made the older Mango Diva pull out all the stops. If she handles this much softer going she will be difficult to beat.
