Aurifodina revelled in the soft ground to score over a mile here last week for which she's been raised 6lb. She'd earlier finished seven lengths behind Devore over this trip on similar going at the Curragh and the winner can confirm the form. The superbly-bred DELIGHTFUL had no answer to Foniska in a Thurles maiden but the third has won subsequently and she can make a successful handicap debut. Shangrilama has improved with every run and none of the remainder can be dismissed in an open-looking nursery.
