Johnny Murtagh looks to hold a strong hand here with Cruella Dovil and Dancing Mountain. The former has been showing good pace over slightly further including in nurseries but the latter could prove the better option as she has been dropped 2lb in the ratings despite a decent run over an extended 6f at Cork. She had earlier beaten EMILY GRACE a head over an extended 5f at Naas where she got up in the final strides. The runner-up will be 2lb better off and though behind today's rival Fox Hill in a claimer last time she is better over the minimum trip and can take revenge. Meryems Way is held on that Naas event and did better when tackling further at Cork three weeks ago. Commodus turns out quickly after a moderate effort at Dundalk on Friday but had shown plenty of potential previously.
