Greanta was third when tried over this trip on her reappearance at Navan and is one for the short-list. Sinndar Desert won over 1m3f at Dundalk in March and Lady Clitico only found one too good over a mile at Cork. Tiffany Bay has ability but HARDSTONE has shown gradual improvement in all three starts and Ross Coakley's claim is a major plus in this. He gets a tentative vote on his handicap debut as Scooping couldn't build on her Leopardstown success at Navan when behind Greanta.
