None of the more exposed types boost confidence though Vociferous Marina won in this grade at Navan in April and this looks easier than her recent tasks. Butterflies looks to head the Ballydoyle trio but, along with Key To My Heart, has only won a maiden so far and handicap winner Elizabeth Browning has a bit to find on these terms. Elusive Duchess and Bloomfield made winning starts while Petticoat won a maiden at Leopardstown but a chance is taken on BLACK RUBY confirming recent running at Fairyhouse with Frima as she steps up in class.
