Carraroe Flyer has been racing over hurdles and probably needs further than this while Dancingwithangels gained her first victory on her 35th start at Dundalk last month, though she'd gone close on a couple of occasions last season. Annadiamond also lost her maiden tag on the Polytrack last month but she's been lightly raced so there should be more to come. Mr Smith has been running over hurdles though not very well and has his first start on the Flat for Charles Byrnes since leaving John Gosden. But he'll be ready for this and any market move should be noted. SEA'S ARIA showed moderate form for John Oxx but he's always looked capable of better and Denis Hogan knows how to get the best out of similar types so he's given the nod in a tricky race.
