Yermanthere had a comfortable course and distance victory last month but a 12lb rise makes this much tougher. HAZALAYA easily won a maiden on the same card and an opening mark of 79 doesn't look excessive so she can go in again. Brave Troop, who was in double-winning form in the spring, has been racing in much stronger company and looks a threat while All Lies Ahead scored at Leopardstown on heavy ground in April so more rain would aid her cause. Chestnutter went up 8lb for completing a double at Tipperary but still ran well at Leopardstown.
