Gatamalata, who ran at the highest level last season despite not having won a race, made a reasonable start on her return in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and will find this much less taxing. However, she may be the type who keeps finding one too good and tonight it could be BETROTHED. Tommy Stack's filly was thought good enough to make her debut at Listed level last year and made a very encouraging reappearance when beaten just a head by Dance Secretary at the Curragh. The winner went on to finish third in a Group 3 so the form looks useful. Free Art started a short-priced favourite at Dundalk but probably found the 7f trip too short while Long Time Coming has failed to find a finishing burst on too many occasions.
