This is a moderate contest and Siberian Vixen would have an outstanding chance on her close second to Not For Burning at Fairyhouse though she ran out on her previous start and was pulled up here last time, albeit in a Grade 3. She might just find the concession of 10lb to the four-year-old PLAIN TALKING beyond her as Gavin Cromwell's filly has looked as though a stiffer test of stamina would suit after staying on over shorter. Lily Yeats is another likely to do better over this trip but winning point-to-pointer De Bennette has disappointed so far over timber.
