Stuccodor, the 2014 Irish Lincoln winner, has disappointed over hurdles and on his return to the Flat at Cork but he's well handicapped at his best and should be respected. After an easy victory in a Cork maiden in September, Avenante has competed at Listed level so the drop in class is in her favour. Intisari hasn't progressed as expected though a return to a faster surface could bring about some improvement a remark that also applies to DOMINATION, the 2014 Ascot Stakes winner. He hasn't had much racing subsequently and this will be his first start since this race a year ago but his trainer will have him ready and he's on a very fair mark. Moonmeister likes fast ground as he showed when completing a double last summer and Shadagann won on quick ground at the Curragh in October. The latter will be better for his recent comeback and can snatch a place.
