Kevin Prendergast was successful last year with Rose Bonheur and will be hoping Redoutable can follow suit. She easily beat a huge field of maidens on her reappearance at the Curragh and never got into the action after missing the break here last time. She can do better and should go well but ROYAL VISIT, who was behind her at the Curragh, can reverse the form and take this. John Oxx' filly looked in need of the experience that day and has since beaten today's rival Srucahan, a subsequent winner, over this C&D. There should be much more to come from her and she has an entry in a Group 3 next month. Khaos has run four of her five races at Dundalk and did very well to chase home Grey Danube in a handicap there a month ago so she's definitely on the short-list while Limetree Lady looked promising last year and is worth noting for the future.
