Rayisa, a close second in a Listed contest at Galway last time, has to be considered though faces a stiff task against some in-form rivals. Tony The Gent was conceding 7lb to the consistent Crème De La when beating her narrowly at Galway, with today's rival The Moore Factor back in fourth, and is on the upgrade. But ASPEN MOUNTAIN has been unfortunate not to have won this campaign having been beaten narrowly in his last two starts, the latest when failing to get a clear run at the Curragh. Compensation awaits here though Siamsaiocht was elevated into Listed company last time after landing a similar event to this at Leopardstown.
