Narjawa has been a big disappointment to date having been beaten at short odds on her last three starts. She didn't run too badly in a very strong maiden at Leopardstown last time but may find HARANGUE too good for her. Dermot Weld's charge was having only his second start when just failing to catch Sam Bass at Galway and a big run from the winner earlier in the programme will point to his chances. Advenio showed promise on her debut at Tipperary but was well beaten when strongly fancied at Naas five days later and that race may have come too soon.
