Travelled well when winning over a mile at Leopardstown last time out, and showed a good attitude late on to deny I'm So Fancy a neck. Up 6lb for that and may face different ground here, so new questions to answer, but clearly going the right way.

Winner on debut at Dundalk in February and improved on that next time out in a better race. Staying on fourth stepped up to a mile at Killarney latest and may strip fitter for that first run after a break, so not discounted.

Came good at Navan when winning a maiden in April and ran better again when stepped up to 10f at the Curragh latest. Stiff mile could be what he needs, and if the first time visor has a positive effect, chances in a tricky contest.

Showing some consistency and certainly did no worse for the step up to a mile last time out, but the way she was collared close home there means this uphill finish may not play to her strengths. Not out of it, but needs to dig in when the pressure comes.

Looked a horse going places when wining with any amount in hand at Leopardstown in June (1m) but disappointed when well fancied at the Curragh latest. Possible this will suit her better but does need to bounce back now.

Has improved for the application of a tongue tie/cheekpieces this spring and won nicely at Leopardstown in May, but questionable whether this drop back in trip is really what she wants at present.

Yet to win in 10 starts but did go close at Leopardstown over a mile in July. Ran to a similar level back over 7f next time, needs to pull out a bit more but that's not impossible.

Forecasts

So You Thought (3/1), Stormy Belle (7/2), Pandagreen (5/1), Lightening Fast (5/1), Jet Streaming (7/1), Ontheiflist (7/1), Tuff Love (7/1), Massif Central (10/1)

Verdict

Stormy Belle is likely to give this a go from the front but she might be susceptible late on, and SO YOU THOUGHT might be the one to pick her up. This trip on a stiff finish might be just what she needs and with a good pace likely she can prevail. Jet Streaming may bounce back and can't be ruled out, and neither can top weight Lightening Fast
