Barrington Court won this a year ago on heavy going and is ground dependant so needs plenty of rain. THUNDER KISS looks the reliable option in a tricky finale as she always does her best and had Zawara just behind when runner-up at Leopardstown. High Heels wasn't far behind the selection in a Group 3 at Cork in June though hasn't made the expected progress nor has Lovely Esteem from her victory at Dundalk back in January. Flor De La Luna's only success came on soft ground at the Curragh a year ago.
