Wonderful has been a short-priced beaten favourite three times and has undoubtedly been disappointing. She led until headed at the furlong pole over 1m1f at Leopardstown last time so should set the pace but looks vulnerable and may find MONA BROWN too good for her. Jim Bolger is bringing out the daughter of Dylan Thomas quickly after her eye-catching run behind Shamora at Leopardstown where she stayed on very strongly over that 7f trip once getting the hang of things. She'll improve for the run and looks the one to beat here. Hayloft made here debut over this trip at Leopardstown last month and though not really getting into the action behind Romantic Stroll she wasn't beaten far and the experience won't be lost on her. Choisilady hasn't been running badly but may have to wait for a handicap to lose her maiden tag while Salacious Sally hasn't progressed from last season.
