Band Width won a maiden here last month before finishing last on softer ground in a strong handicap at Naas when Messa Concertata finished mid-division. The latter had earlier won over 5f at Tipperary and found 7f beyond her at Gowran next time. Shoebox King wasn't beaten far in that Naas event before a good run at Cork but didn't show the expected improvement in a Curragh maiden. Gallow Hill looked a potential future winner when a close third here in March and was staying on in a Fairyhouse handicap last time. DUTCH GLORY has more scope than most of these having performed with credit in 7f maidens at Naas and Fairyhouse so she's handed the vote.
