Verdict

John Oxx has his horses in fine shape so Smart Striking will be fancied here, especially in first-time blinkers. She failed to hold the late run of Skyway here last time but that was over a mile and this should be her trip. Atyaab also found a mile just stretching her stamina at Navan last time after an excellent second to Glorified over today's trip at Dundalk. She's another who will be suited by dropping down in distance but both could be thwarted by PARAPHERNALIA. David Wachman's filly made a very promising debut in the race that Atyaab ran in at Navan and as she has plenty of pace in her pedigree despite being by Dalakhani she can take this.
