In depth

Verdict

None have visited the winner's circle, but maybe the move into handicap company and a first try on quick ground may elicit improvement from the well-bred MALOJA. She was supported into favouritism on her Curragh debut last November and market support here would strengthen confidence. Church Mountain, scheduled to run at Fairyhouse on Friday evening, is one of the likelier ones if coming on here as his latest effort just about represents the best form on offer. Cu Roi shaped better last time and is a consideration along with Chummie and Sea Appeal in a tricky contest.
