Regal Power had Danziger a couple of lengths behind when runner-up to stablemate Vale Of Clara at Naas and should confirm the form though MONA BROWN can take this on her first start over the trip. Jim Bolger's filly has been a beaten favourite on her last three starts but hasn't done much wrong and only just failed to hold Circle at Leopardstown last week. Via Ballycroy has also been expensive to follow but should be winning soon judged on her narrow defeat by Dream Applause over this trip at Leopardstown. Bird's Eye View looked a certain future winner when placed in two huge fields last autumn and though a long absence suggests there's been a problem her trainer is very adept at bringing one back and she's one to note in the betting.
