Dance With Another has been racing over much further so the decision to drop her in trip is interesting, though her stable companion Sparrow looks to have the better chance. She couldn't cope with Tobann when Jim Bolger's filly won a Group 3 at Fairyhouse earlier this month before another fine run over a trip too short at Naas when Floating Along was beaten a couple of lengths. Dalkova landed a Naas handicap before stepping up a gear to finish runner-up to Palace in a Killarney Listed event where Califante was just behind. TESTED has only been beaten once in four starts, in the Irish 1000 Guineas. She had Slipper Orchid behind when landing a Naas Listed contest last time and, though the latter is better off at the weights through the weight-for-age process, the winner has bags of scope and looks another for Dermot Weld.
