Verdict

Stucker Hill found her form at the end of last year completing a double before falling when there with a chance at Punchestown last month. Gliondar Mo Chroi was always in the front rank and travelling well when scoring on the latter track so an 8lb rise shouldn't pose too many problems. I'm Not Alone is still a maiden but should be suited by the longer trip after staying on over the minimum at Naas but this looks an opportunity for IKNOWWHEREIAMNOW. Philip Dempsey's mare was a very good second over this trip at Punchestown before falling at Gowran and compensation awaits. Smiling Eliza won twice as a three-year-old and hasn't run badly against older rivals so she's on the shortlist.
