A typically open Naas handicap sprint in which ELANORA, progressive last season, is taken to go one better on the back of an excellent return to action this month when beaten under a length in a fiercely competitive 23-runner Curragh handicap, The Grassick filly, usually a prominent racer, should have no issues with the drop to the minimum trip and can defy topweight under Wayne Lordan. Collective Power is a model of consistency on the artificial surface at Dundalk but has yet to make the frame in his three starts on the grass and therefore the progressive Curraheen Princess may prove the main threat on her seasonal return. Samrogue completes the shortlist.
