A chance is taken with the Joseph O'Brien-trained SYRENA who has had a solid and consistent season winning and running well in a number of efforts over the summer. The daughter of Gale Force Ten has the addition of the capable Shane Crosse in the saddle and can pounce late to get the better of the Tony Martin-trained Bigger And Better and the quickly turned out, Evasive Power, a close second at Wolverhampton on Saturday.
