Ger Lyons and Johnny Murtagh are a formidable combination so the lightly-raced Cas Aer, who makes her handicap debut, shouldn't be ignored. Bubbly Bellini is in fine form and though beaten over 5f at Navan last time led for much of the way when just caught by Desert Ben over 7f at Down Royal earlier and can gain revenge on the winner. MRS BATT has been attempting to make all over 7f in her races this season and did so on this track in April. She's continued to blaze a trail and hasn't been beaten far in any of her subsequent races suggesting she can hold on to her lead here. Under Review is a specialist on Polytrack and poorly handicapped on turf.
