Held up for much of the race and shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when finishing runner-up over 7f at The Curragh on only start in June. Absence since is a slight concern but likely to run well for leading connections.

Made the frame on each of his two outings as a two-year-old. Finished third last time out over 7f at Limerick. Interesting runner here but a place looks more likely than a win.

Held up in a seven runner Group 3 event over 1m at The Curragh when making her debut in August 2016. Was purchased expensively (€550,000) as a yearling and is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner The Juliet Rose. Likely to prove hard to beat in first time hood here.

Verdict

FEATHERY ran well when beaten a head on her penultimate outing over 1m1f on soft-to-heavy ground at Tipperary in October last year. Representing a top stable she followed that up with a good third in a 25 runner contest at The Curragh over 7f and she is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt here. The unraced Toursoun is taken to be best of the remainder for a leading yard though is ultimately likely to be better over further in time. Inca Gold is taken to finish third in this having finished second at The Curragh on his only start over 7f back in June while his stablemate's Orderofthegarter and Pocketfullofdreams are also likely to run well in this.
