Kevin Prendergast's Asheerah was beaten when a short-priced favourite in her three juvenile runs but made a winning reappearance at Limerick before a very promising effort in a Listed event over 1m2f here when runner-up to Siren's Song. She ran poorly in a Group 3 on much faster ground last time and the going could be against her unless there is significant rain. BAY KNIGHT could also do with softer going though he's an experienced campaigner at this sort of level and struck his best form around this time last year. He just gets the vote though Banna Boirche ran well behind Rose Bonheur at Naas a couple of weeks ago, his first start since performing with credit in Dubai. Cannon Hill and Lady Fashion were behind at Naas and didn't appear to have excuses but Head Space is probably much better than we saw on his return at Cork last month as he was badly impeded early in the event.
