Two three-year-olds have won this in the past four years and CURVY (NAP) can continue the trend despite a massive 12lb rise for her victory over the in-form Ringside Humour over the course and distance. David Wachman's filly scored with some authority and can prove better than an 84-rated handicapper over the coming weeks. Sierra Sun found 1m4f too far at Tipperary and this is her trip while Dragon Fei enjoyed the very testing ground when gaining her second victory at the Curragh over today's rivals Jeremy's Girl and Tsundoku, who are entitled to get closer under the revised terms. Princess Aloof steps up in trip after her hat-trick bid came to nothing over 7f at Gowran.
