Adrian Murray saddled the winner of this maiden 12 months ago and CHARANDA, one of three representatives for the yard this time round, could be the answer. She fetched €90,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to two winning 2-y-os. Jim Bolger has enjoyed success in this maiden over the years and he fields an interesting candidate in Monotone, while Charanda's stablemates Arizona Blaze and Linesky are also of interest, along with the Noel Meade-trained Rowdy Yeats.
