In depth

Verdict

Musalsal has been here three times and won twice including from a higher mark last summer. The maiden Kew Palace has run twice for new connections since arriving from the UK and should be up to winning a handicap off this mark. Tyrion's Dream took a long time to warm up last season but followed a surprise victory on soft ground at the Curragh with another on heavy ground back there a couple of weeks later so any further rain would be welcome. COILL NA SIONAINNE was well supported on her return to action at Leopardstown where she didn't get the run of the race but it was a different matter at Naas a few days later where she scooted home by 6 lengths in a big field. She's been hit with a massive 16lb rise but is probably still ahead of the assessor.
