Anything Willie Mullins runs on the Flat has to be taken seriously and BRONAGH'S BELLE could have been let in very lightly here. She's by High Chaparral so last season's four runs over 6f/7f can be dismissed and she's handed the vote. Johnny Murtagh has his horses in top form and Circling Moon will be fancied to complete a hat-trick despite a penalty for last week's victory over 1m7f here. Drakensberg, a dual winner in Germany, hasn't shown much over timber for new connections and reverts to the Flat but Temasek Star is returning to his best and always runs well on this track. The three-year-old Fiannaiocht is making her handicap debut but hasn't shown enough to merit consideration.
