Purple was quite highly tried last year and will be better for her run at Leopardstown in March where she didn't look fully wound-up. Fluidity was staying on over a mile at Gowran last month and should be suited by the extra but Kashmir Peak looks a bit high in the weights for what he's achieved. Money Spider has had his chances while Antiquus may just need the run after a very long break. Lord Jim has some strong form in maidens and should be winning soon though he has a huge weight to carry so a chance is taken with MY FERE LADY. Jim Bolger won this with a 20/1 chance last year and this lightly-raced filly has plenty of potential and is taken to spring another surprise.
