Silver Service has gone close on both starts, including when beaten just a neck over C&D last time, but she may find YOLO AGAIN improving past her. Well beaten on her debut here in April, she improved markedly to take third at the Curragh last time and could be progressing well enough to score here. Cedars Of Lebanon ran well on debut and could find this easier than the Listed race she ran in last time, whiloe Rangefield Express ran a fair race on debut at Dundalk.

GOPSIES DAUGHTER has run a couple of excellent races in defeat recently, filling second place in a huge field at the Curragh before again taking the runner-up spot at Tipperary last time. This stiff five furlongs looks ideal and she can confirm her authority over Sweetest Taboo, who ran well here two starts ago but was a long way behind the selection at the Curragh. Iceni ran well at Tipperary last time and is interesting for Henry de Bromhead, while Adrian Keatley sent Simbas Song over to Ayr for her last outing, where she finished a fair third.

A big run from Gopsies Daughter in the preceding race will strengthen the claims of BRAVE DISPLAY here, as he beat that rival when winning under today's rider at the Curragh, before finding the extended six furlongs at Cork too far last time. Early Call was beaten less than a length over this track and trip last time so must be considered, with Snow Patch over a length behind in fourth. Ger Lyons' Daliyah and the Eddie Lynam-trained Clare Island are others to note.

NATIONAL SECURITY was behind Cypress Creek when they met at Leopardstown last month, but Jim Bolger's charge improved markedly to take fourth in a Listed contest, beaten less than three lengths, over this C&D last time. That additional experience could prove vital here. As well as Cypress Creek, Aidan O'Brien has recent Curragh third Giuseppe Garibaldi, who should improve for this stiffer test of stamina, while Dermot Weld's Baliyad could come on for his debut effort over 10 furlongs here.

Khudha didn't enjoy the best of times over hurdles but did sign off last season's Flat exploits with a 12-length success at the Curragh and is only 7lb higher here. Both Suitor and Boom Or Bush have recent near-misses in handicaps to their names so must be considered, but preference is for CONSTANCIO. Jim Bolger's gelding opened his account over a furlong shorter at this track in April and was within a length of following up over a furlong further last time. A mark of 83 might underestimate him on his handicap debut.

AISEOLAS was hugely impressive when winning her maiden by over eight lengths at Gowran two starts ago and though she failed as favourite at Killarney last time, she was only really getting going over a mile on that occasion and can flourish back up in distance. High Street Lady opened her account over this trip at Dundalk but was behind the selection at Killarney last time, so a bigger danger could be The King, who won his Gowran maiden well last term and was considered good enough to contest the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial on his reappearance.

Listed company proved too hot for LONDON ICON to handle at Naas last time, but he had gone well off a mark of 91 in handicap company prior to that and if he can run to that sort of level here he could be tough to beat. Magnetic North opened his account with some authority at Leopardstown latest so is an obvious danger, as is Full Moon, who scored on the all-weather in April but was disappointing at the Curragh latest.

QUEEN RABAB followed up a victory over this trip at Dundalk with a solid enough third over 7f at Tipperary last time and could go well despite a 2lb rise for that latest effort. So Enjoy gets another chance off the same mark as when fourth in a big field at Leopardstown last time, while Ragtime Red wasn't far behind in sixth and runs off 1lb lower here. Scoil Naisiunta is down 2lb for finishing fourth at Sligo and is starting to look well treated.
