Nina Carberry has done brilliantly on her return to action and can keep up the momentum on FLAWLESS ESCAPE, runner-up on his only start between the flags at Lingstown in March. Chesterfield King had obviously been impressing at home as he started favourite on his debut at Kilbeggan but never looked like winning though he'll have come on for the experience. Midnight Lightning was well beaten here three weeks ago and the remaining trio have shown nothing.
