Verdict
Celtic Crown was in excellent form last summer until a moderate final run at Galway in July. Aurora Princess won three times in mid-summer on good ground so may find this too testing while Monzoon beat a big field of handicappers at the Curragh in August. Punakha's maiden victory at Gowran was on soft ground but, like Coins Cross, she has had a run to put her straight. The latter will enjoy the conditions but PETTICOAT RULE could be the one to beat. A winner here and at Listowel on ground with give last summer, she looked like winning a Curragh handicap last month only to fade close home. Navagio looks a big threat as he didn't do much wrong last season and was staying on over 7f in a Naas premier handicap last month.
