TRUFFLES bounced back to form when making all over 6f at Fairyhouse where she was clear at halfway. This shorter trip won't be a problem and her young rider can steer her to another victory. Accalia was beaten a long way in that event but that wasn't her form and she's better judged on her earlier run when second in a big field at Navan. Doonard Prince gained his eighth victory on his 64th start at Navan but a 5lb rise takes him onto a career-high mark. Harry Speed has only won over 7f but was in the lead at this trip at Fairyhouse last time before headed close home. Flawlessly has only ever run over the minimum and wouldn't want any more rain.
