Verdict
Carta Blanca has yet to win but couldn't have gone any closer at Limerick in April when just failing to overhaul Bay Hill. Get Out Of Jail had been hurdling before reverting to the Flat with a fine run behind Ben Rumson at Fairyhouse. Lizard Point is still a maiden but ran well here a year ago and looked to be getting closer when third at Tipperary last time. TRAIDISIUN needs a stiff test of stamina and the recent rain will aid her cause so she gets the nod with her young rider's claim a bonus. Dark Amber hasn't won for a long time but went very close on her penultimate start at Fairyhouse and has one of the most experienced of these young riders aboard.
