Joseph O'Brien won the first running of this two years ago with a three-year-old and AMERICAN SONJA, who has an entry in the Irish 1000 Guineas, can follow suit. She ran well in all four starts last season, three of them at the Curragh including an easy maiden success on ground with give in October. All Lies Ahead is an obvious threat having reappeared with a battling victory over this trip on heavy ground at Leopardstown for which she's up 8lb. Celtic Crown has the form to win this in testing conditions though she's better over an extra furlong, a remark that also applies to La Dame Blanche, who won over a mile here last May. Bells On Her Toes gained her only success over this track and trip and will be better for last month's run at Naas.
