Experience could be a major factor in this contest with the 89-rated Lope De Vega filly, TASALKA taken to get off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking. The Aga Khan-owned filly should appreciate the drop back into maiden company to land the spoils at the expense of the Ger Lyons-trained Abeona who will look to build on a solid debut on the AW at Dundalk when last seen in October, finishing third of 14 in a 7f maiden, beaten 2½L behind Vatican City. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Elfin Queen should not be underestimated, nor should Zahira Loredana in the colours of the Moyglare Stud as she looks to improve on impressive debut at the Curragh in August.
