This looks a good opportunity for PREPARE FOR BATTLE to get off the mark at the third time of asking after running well in a huge field at the Curragh latest. Rayda ran a nice race on debut and is certainly capable of improvement so she enters calculations as does Long Wood who should appreciate the step up in trip.
