A rating of 95 and a close second last time out in a Listed race at Naas over this trip gives HENCE a fairly solid pretence to winning this. She sets the standard and earns the nod, though any strong support behind her once-raced stablemate Most Gifted might lower confidence significantly. The latter made a decent start at the Curragh and is open to progress now. Elegant Drama has also gone well in Listed fare already, over shorter, and commands respect. Newcomers Night Drive and True To Herself warrant a betting check.
