She No Joke appeared to find a mile too short at Cork so this slightly longer trip will be in her favour. She should get into the frame though Al Murqab finished in front of her and there appears no reason why he shouldn't do so again and he looks the main threat to LAVINIAD. Jim Bolger's filly made a very promising debut over this trip at Gowran and looked the likely winner when sent over 1m4f at the Curragh but faded close home. Maktoob started a short-priced favourite on his debut at Navan last month but that was over 5f and he takes a massive step up in trip here.
