Georgeville was well supported when winning this last year and has been running reasonably well in better company. However, he finished two lengths behind Monaasib when the latter was beaten a neck by Statement in a similar race at Cork and Kevin Prendergast's charge can confirm the form. However, GOODIE TWO SHOES beat Monaasib half-a-length at Punchestown on just her second start and is 2lb better off so looks the one to beat with further progress likely. Self Belief looked one to follow when landing a Curragh maiden but never got close to Neptune Rock in a Listed race at Listowel where he still looked very green. Lyrical Poetry looks best of Johnny Murtagh's pair and isn't out of this.
