PRIMALOVA was disqualified after finishing second at Dundalk at the start of the month when her young jockey failed to weigh in. She comfortably holds Statue Of Dreams and Patrickswell on that run, however, and should make a bold bid to gain compensation here from what looks a decent draw. Just For Mary, Patrickswell and Rowayton all finished in the pack behind Cheviot at Naas 11 days ago and there shouldn't be much between the trio again but more interesting is Navan fourth Nidian, who should strip fitter here, and the three-year-old Sacre Fleur. Sharon Dunphy's filly wasn't far away in her first three starts as a juvenile, including over this trip at Naas last July.
