The very consistent Intense Stylist has a big weight to carry and has never won but Jim Bolger has booked Daniel Redmond for the ride and his 5lb claim will be a big help. Set To Fire is also a maiden but has dropped to a mark she should be winning from soon and will benefit from Ross Coakley's claim. Gossip Central failed to last out 1m4f at Gowran last month but did much better when tackling this trip at Naas and has been left on the same mark. SMILING EMILY was beaten a short-head over the track and trip last month before tackling a better race over a mile at Galway. Robbie Downey is one of the more experienced riders in the race and he can steer the filly home.
