Loads with chances but STRONG CONTENDER was dominant when shedding the maiden tag in clear-cut style at Wexford 12 days ago, going right away in the closing stages in the style of one capable of better again. She earns preference over Sallap and Hey Babbs. Cornmarket and Ilbdare both go well here and can also feature in a competitive heat.
