Silly Dancer won this a year ago and is 1lb lower but hasn't been successful since. Born To Excel is still a maiden and probably a few pounds high, a remark that also applies to Forbidden, who is 1-28 on turf. After an easy victory at Roscommon, Cannot Give proved disappointing at Cork but Appletreemagic wasn't suited by soft ground at Leopardstown and is better judged on her close second to Takin Kate on fast going at Naas earlier. Phantasy Rock let supporters down when favourite at Fairyhouse and the vote goes to the progressive DENNY CRANE, an excellent runner-up to the in-form Strandfield Lady at Leopardstown and on just a 3lbs higher mark here.
