Shinko Princess has had seven starts and her latest run at Naas was probably her best so she should be in the shake-up again, though there are several three-year-olds who may improve past her. Dierama wasn't far behind in that race and is heading the right way while Caesar's Comet made a reasonable start over 7f at Dundalk in January and is expected to make progress. The Godolphin-owned Beaming will have come on markedly for her run on that track last week but it's RIBBONTAIL WAY who gets the vote. Tracey Collins' filly reappeared at Limerick last month and made most of the running over that 7f before headed close home - this stiff track should be in her favour. Pat Smullen's presence on Low Latency catches the eye as his mount ran in a Listed contest on his second start in October.
