SAAJIDAH would have no problems taking this on last year's form, the highlight being when runner-up to St Nicholas Abbey at the Curragh. She hasn't been seen since beaten on polytrack in October and is up against race-fit rivals but connections will be anxious for her to lose her maiden tag and she should be forward enough. Treasure The Cross wears blinkers for the first time after failing to cope with the previously frustrating Ice Empress at Killarney. She is expected to improve while So Secret was having her first start since October when a fair runner-up to Prince Jock at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago. Chachalacas has performed with credit in two decent maidens and looks certain to get involved over this slightly longer trip.
