Verdict
Amost all of these will find this on the short side and the vote goes to the only distance winner ZORIJA ROSE. Tommy Stack's mare appeared suited by dropping back to 6f last time but scored over this trip at Galway on heavy ground a year ago. Toraidhe, who ended the last campaign racing over 1m4f at Naas, was staying on stoutly over a mile at the Curragh on his return and may just get outpaced here. Wordly Wise has some useful form at around a mile and will be fit from hurdling but a bigger threat may emerge from Celtic Dane, who was in good form at the start of last season without winning and has race conditions in his favour.
