All three of DALIYRA's runs have been over a mile at Dundalk but there is no reason to believe she won't be as effective over a longer trip on turf. She was staying on nicely behind the prolific Bashir Biyoum Zain on her reappearance last month and as the only three-year-old in the line-up has scope for the most improvement. Silent Decision has won just once from 13 starts but is very consistent which is why she continues to climb the weights. She stays further than this so the fast ground may just hinder her chances. Lizzie Bennett isn't the most consistent of performers but useful when getting her act together and very nearly pulled of a shock victory at the Curragh when only a length behind Leah Claire in a huge field. She's well enough handicapped to make her presence felt along with Sugar Baby Love, who showed his liking for fast ground when coming with a late burst to score over the trip at Leopardstown.
