Dundalk winner ANONYMOUS LADY ran her best race to date on Turf behind Dark Alliance at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago so it's a surprise to see her dropped 2lb in the ratings and she can take advantage. Showcard is lower in the ratings than when successful at Dundalk in February and performed with credit at Leopardstown last time. Stinky Socks makes her debut for Willie McCreery after transferring from Charles Hills where she won at Wolverhampton in October. Trust Your Opinion has an even longer absence to overcome though he's now with an in-form yard while Belezza Oscura found 7f too far at Sligo having produced a much better run over this track previously.
