Dermot Weld won this last year and with his horses in such good form his newcomer Kaleefa, a daughter of Sinndar, has to be considered. Ceisteach made her debut in a Listed contest then started favourite for a Navan maiden but could only stay on at one pace. She should do better this campaign though Namurian Sunset finished a couple of lengths in front of her at Navan and, as that was her debut, she should have benefited from the experience. Ode To Psyche improved with each run and was staying on strongly at the finish over a mile at the Curragh while Kevin Prendergast was on the scoreboard at the Curragh last week so Got To Dream, who started favourite when a close third at Limerick in June, will attract attention. John Oxx has won this three times in four years and the 800,000 euros filly She's Mine, who is related to several classic performers, is entered in the Oaks at the Curragh and Epsom. She'll have come on for her opening run and has to be of interest. Aidan O'Brien had four in at the entry stage and relies on MEANDERING and Ruby Tuesday with Joseph on the former if he gets back from Meydan on time. His mount is a half-sister to the useful pair Up and Dutch Art and can make a winning start.
