Fammi Sognare, the only four-year-old in the line-up, likes fast ground and can go well but faces a stiff task against her older rivals. This should rest between the three who ran behind the progressive Some Say at Sligo a week ago with the eventual runner-up CINDERELLA STORY getting the vote. Patrick Martin's mare was beaten just two lengths that day when a mistake at the last didn't help her chances and she can go one better. Fantastic Gold, who finished fourth, and the favourite Ross Bay, who was a place behind, appear held though the latter was having her first start over hurdles and making her return to action after a long break. Hepahepa Naeney has some fair form to her credit including when runner-up to Uncle Taffy in a Gowran handicap last time but she's had plenty of chances.
