It's a surprise to see Galianna dropping back in trip as she demolished a field over 2m at Clonmel in May. She has won over 1m4f but will need a thorough test of stamina and may not get it in this small field. RORY ANNA has been waiting for the ground to ease as it was heavy when she scored at Cork in April. She showed good pace over 1m2f that day having previously won over hurdles at Limerick. Karma looked promising when scoring at Sligo in September but ran poorly on her two subsequent starts and hasn't been seen since. Ballygologue ran well for a long way behind Lynott at Roscommon in May and is no forlorn hope from this mark.
