Daliyan didn't enjoy the fast ground at Leopardstown after his victory on this sort of going at Tipperary. Deor didn't quite last home in the Ladies Derby at the Curragh and this shorter trip will be more suitable but Shes No Joke floundered in the Ballinrobe mud on Monday and is very much better than she showed there. Sweet Cherry is 1lb lower than her only victory to date while Water Sprite arrives in god form on ground with some give. Mistiness made most on his reappearance over 1m2f at Leopardstown and battled on well enough to suggest the extra furlong won't be a problem so he should prove a threat. ASKMOUR has only run four times and was making her handicap debut when narrowly beaten on fast ground at Leopardstown. There should be plenty more to come and she's handed the vote in a tricky handicap.
