BLUE HEATHER has had plenty of chances but her close second to Caer at Roscommon when only headed close home would probably be good enough for this. Conquering Tara looks the logical danger having improved massively from her opening run to be narrowly beaten here last month. It's difficult to find an alternative but perhaps The Girl That Sang, beaten 14 lengths in that latter event, may be good enough to snatch a place.
