SAILORS WARN won a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in December and was runner-up to Unaccompanied in a Grade 1 there in February, form that would be good enough for this. Little Green won a Grade 2 on very testing ground at Fairyhouse so the more rain the better for her but Magical Memoir probably prefers quicker going than she'll get here. The remainder will need to show improvement to get involved.
