CHIMERIC, Spirituoso and Ta La Na all arrive here on the back of solid efforts in defeat and may be the trio to concentrate on. The fact that Chimeric remains a maiden following 24 attempts is naturally disconcerting, but she has performed with plenty of credit off this mark at Gowran the last twice and a deserved first career success could be on the cards here.

- SPIRITUOSO
