Johnny Murtagh is having a fine season and Admiralty looks the type to improve now stepping up to a more suitable trip. He's also on the inside which is usually a help in soft ground here while TWIST OF MAGIC is also drawn low and her recent defeat of Joyce Compton at Down Royal could get a boost from the runner-up earlier in the day. That looks decent form and Johnny Feane's filly can complete a double though Boom Or Bush wasn't beaten far and will be suited by the extra furlong, as will fourth-placed Future Frontier, but Cleona looks held. Duck Egg Blue was a long way behind in that latter event but that didn't look her form as she had earlier landed a Sligo nursery on testing ground.
