Denis Hogan won this last year and tonight's entry Sea's Aria showed some promise on the Flat for John Oxx. My Matador scored on the Flat in France but jumped poorly before unseating his rider at Killarney recently. St Peter's Square produced one solid effort when runner-up at Cork but has been well beaten in all other starts despite being placed. TEOLENA ran a fine race for a four-year-old at Wexford where she only just failed to peg back Poetic Lord. That was only her fourth start over timber so, with more to come, she should get off the mark. Snowbird may prove best of the remainder.
