Muniza showed plenty of potential in the summer and came here to land a maiden over 1m2f a month ago. She makes her handicap debut and is greatly respected but RINGSIDE HUMOUR may be good enough. Jim Bolger's mare hasn't exactly been consistent since winning here in April but she's been competing at a higher level over shorter trips and this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Sharjah won over hurdles in the summer and has a tremendous record here so has to go on the short-list as does Saga Bolton. The latter has only had eight starts and won three times, two of them here, and was returning from a very long break when catching the eye here three weeks ago.
