Preference is for the British raider SO LONELY who has been progressing nicely for trainer Dan Skelton since being dropped in trip to win three of her last four starts over hurdles. The daughter of So You Think can land the spoils ahead of the solid and consistent Something Sweet under jockey Brendan Powell, Iamastartoo fro trainer Noel Meade and the Jessica Harrington-trained Dandjira who is better than her beaten distances suggest.
