VHAGAR ran into a couple of decent performers over 6f here last week and gets the vote though Cedars Of Lebanon looks a real threat. The latter stepped up to a mile at Bellewstown and made all so she's likely to take some catching over this trip. Gold Jasmine attracted very good support in that latter event but never got going until much too late. She'll have come on a bundle for the experience though it's a surprise to see her dropping back in trip. Man Of The Sea started off with a fair run here in May but hasn't made progress while An Aingeal Dubh weakened quickly over a mile at Killarney last time. Rosselini didn't show enough at Limerick to be considered.
