Saajidah had some really good form as a two-year-old, including runs behind St Nicholas Abbey and Joshua Tree. So it was something of a surprise that it took her seven runs to get off the mark and she was comfortably brushed aside by TREASURE THE CROSS at Wexford in July. Kevin Prendergast's filly is 7lb better off here but that may not be enough to turn the tables. Julie's Jet has something to prove after failing at odds-on at Tipperary in June but in-form Belle Noverre can't be ignored despite a further rise up the weights and Gipsy Countess ran well at Leopardstown off this mark last month.
