With just 6lb separating the runners on official ratings this looks a tight contest. Majestic Jasmine hails from a yard that traditionally improves as the season progresses and, having shown juvenile promise, she should be all the better for her reappearance. She should also appreciate this drop in trip, whilst Teoranta was much-improved a week ago when scoring over the Leopardstown mile but there is a doubt or two about her effectiveness over this extra quarter-mile. Mischief N Mayhem goes up 3f from her latest Naas effort, a move that looks likely to suit after her respectable third to Silky at Clonmel over 1m2f whilst CONNACHT COUNCIL progressed from previous efforts to score over 7f at Naas last time. However, he's equally effective over further and is taken to go in again now he's found the winning habit.
