Something Sweet is the only course and distance winner and is on a 1lb lower mark though she meets several in-form rivals. Nell's Well had shown ability before landing a Tramore maiden when well supported while APRILS JOY has won on the Flat since landing a Downpatrick handicap in June. The latter may be good enough to thwart the hat-trick prospects of De Lady In Red and Forgetthesurprise. The former has a big weight to carry on her handicap debut though she won a Roscommon maiden with a bit in hand while the latter has run poorly on the Flat since completing a double over timber and may find this on the short side.
