Laffina is tried in blinkers after a disappointing run at Navan though that was over 1m2f and she'd run better over this trip at Cork earlier. Current State improved behind Jacobean at Limerick and wouldn't need much more to get competitive but the vote goes to DIAMOND RIO. She was a 50/1 chance when making her debut over slightly further at Gowran in May and was up with the pace for a long way. Athassel has been looking one-paced and may have to wait for a handicap to get off the mark.
