SHIFA continues to frustrate but gets a good chance of finally losing that maiden tag and her overall form, especially when narrowly beaten by Four Commanders at Thurles, looks good enough for this. Jinglealltheways has been running very well but a longer trip may be required and Jeunopse may prove a bigger threat as she has done all her running over the minimum trip and has always looked as though further would suit. Evesham Star hasn't been the most consistent of performers but she has some fair efforts to her credit over this trip and must be considered. Akatara has been progressing nicely and though this will be her first attempt at the trip there's no reason why she shouldn't stay.
