Royal Crew followed a victory between the flags at Avaune in December with three promising runs in maidens though her best efforts have come on ground with plenty of give. Equation was having her first start since November when a good fourth behind Yachvili at Ballinrobe earlier this month and will strip fitter this time but Strike An Ark has had plenty of experience and doesn't have the scope of some of her rivals. MINNIE WYSE was reported in season when running poorly at Limerick in March but her earlier form in bumpers and over timber at Tramore and Punchestown put her right in the frame for this. Thats Our Luck returned to form with a fair third behind Flat Out over the minimum trip here recently and has no problems with extra quarter-mile.
