Al Kazeem filly has won two from four starts already, no luck in Group 3 at Leopardstown last month but likely to have major say back in this sphere despite conceding weight.

11/4

Maiden winner over 5f at Naas in April, twice beaten in Listed company over the minimum trip since, up in distance now probably has to improve against a couple of these rivals.

Winner on handicap debut over 7f (soft) at Gowran Park three days ago, that was just a fourth start. Has scope for more in time but will need a step forward to land this.

8/1

14/1

Unable to open account in seven-race maiden career, held off this mark on handicap debut at Tipperary (5f, yielding). First time beyond the minimum trip, stiff task.

T For Tango (11/4), Golden Spell (10/3), Solar Wave (10/3), Sebastiano Ricci (7/2), Painting Pictures (8/1), My Silver Nails (14/1)

An open feel to this contest and some form of a case could be made for all of them. In that instance, it may prove safest to side with the top-weight GOLDEN SPELL, who has two wins from four already. She was outclassed in a Group 3 last time but can prove up to this task. The 7lb claim from her rider also helps negate the concessions she is giving away. Solar Wave took another step in the right direction this week at Gowran Park and joins Sebastiano Ricci, who best effort came at Galway last time out, in presenting decent threats. T For Tango may fair best of the rest.
