Maricruz won this in 2019 from 3lb higher but that was the last time she won a race. Ebony Maw is the other course and distance winner in the line-up though he could do with some rain as could Arcland, whose only victory to date came on heavy going at the Curragh. HIMALAYAN BEAUTY is still a maiden but it surely won't be for long after two fine runs in handicaps. The assessor has left her on the same mark and she can get off the mark. Reverberation would have to be a threat on his narrow defeat at the Curragh and he completed a hat-trick at this time a year ago while the Coolmore-owned Easily was making her handicap debut when running well at Naas last week though could have done without a 5lb rise.
