This could prove a bit on the short side for Ballinlough Gale though he's likely to be thereabouts and Meishar, who was behind him at Gowran last time, will be better suited by the trip. Mudawy had some decent form last season and made an encouraging reappearance at Dundalk where he pulled too hard in the early stages. Fictitious Lady has had seven starts and though rarely beaten far looks vulnerable to an improver, as does Solene Lilyette, who has changed stables. MAZARA has also moved yards since beaten at odds-on at Galway back in 2019. She has the scope to go on to better things and is handed the vote.
