Joseph O'Brien won this last year and Commodus is one to keep an eye on after an improved run over 5f at Navan on Wednesday where she stayed on well. Leagan Gaeilge battled on when tackling a mile on testing ground at Gowran when just getting up so this could prove on the short side. I Remember You ran poorly when fancied at Naas on Monday but Lady Marengo ran well in a better race at the same meeting and looks reasonably treated. Only The Brave gained a deserved victory in a Fairyhouse claimer and looks on a fair mark but Nikeandnemesis could find this on the short side as his recent double came over a mile. WINIATA put a promising start at Dundalk to good use when comfortably landing a Limerick maiden and she's handed the vote in a tricky nursery.
