Girl Crush easily comes out best at the weights based on official ratings but her Roscommon victory was gained on heavy ground. Sister Lola and Prioritise give James McAuley a strong hand with the latter, who made a promising debut for the yard on this track, possibly the best of the pair. CHICAGO LIGHTENING is still a maiden but drops into this grade for the first time and has been narrowly beaten in handicaps the last twice so this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark.
