BEST NOT ARGUE (NAP) hasn't won for over two years and has moved to Joseph O'Brien since her last run in October but she's so well handicapped that her new trainer can take advantage. Piper Bomb has only won on the all-weather but has been running well enough at a similar level to make her presence felt while Botanical Lady ran her best race for some time at Bellewstown last week and is well handicapped if back in form. All The Mollies was behind Hatton Cross when the latter won here last month but that was her first start since October. She can turn the tables and find a place on the podium.
