In depth

Verdict

PIRITA made a winning return over 5f at Down Royal last month. A convincing winner, despite only scoring by a length, Dermot Weld's filly has plenty of scope for further progress. Greek Canyon will have come on from his recent reappearance over 5f here and is only 2lb higher than when winning at the Curragh last year. He may well reverse latest running with More Questions given the latter was raised 12lb after recording his third win at this track. Wind Inher Sleeves went close at Naas last month and can figure with a similar effort while Maremmadiavola also has claims if forgiven a below-par effort last time.
