Confirmed she's back to her best when winning at Gowran last week but 7 lb penalty demands more.

Forecasts

Nibras Rainbow (10/3), Queen Aethelflaed (4/1), Yquem (9/2), Borora Aura (9/2), Staywitherjohnny (7/1), Famous Enough (8/1), Medieval Night (12/1), Real Petite (12/1), Rockbury Lad (14/1), Deuteronomy (22/1), Desert Of The Sea (22/1), Virgil Tibbs (25/1), Private Larry (33/1), Crypto Crash (33/1), Sheamus Seimhiu (33/1), Sarmiento Power (50/1), Shakita (80/1)

NIBRAS RAINBOW went close to following up his Killarney win here last week and should make another bold bid off the same mark. Staywitherjohnny is next best ahead of Real Petite.
