Toe The Line has won on heavy ground though her two victories at a high level over longer trips were gained on much quicker going. She was conceding Altesse 12lb when beating her a neck on fast ground at the Curragh so shouldn't have too many problems confirming the form on these terms. MASSINGA won easily over this trip at Galway on soft ground before showing her versatility by completing a double over 1m1f at Leopardstown. She's just the type her trainer does so well with and should enjoy another good campaign, starting here. Ballybacka Queen appears to have gone backwards after a promising start but Cailini Alainn will enjoy the conditions more than most.
