Unlike the first division, several of these arrive in good shape, including SISTER SLEW (nap), who had dropped to a fair mark when scoring on the sand at Laytown. She's still well in at the ratings with Robbie Downey's claim a big plus so she's taken to follow up. Corker Hill has been steadily finding her feet but connections won't be pleased that she's gone up 6lb for her last two placed efforts. Hoppsan is running very well and though her only success has come at Dundalk she's just as good on Turf and is one for the shortlist. Zero Europe has gone 20 starts without winning but that should be put right soon while Athassel ran his best race to date behind Al Fahidi at Down Royal and Wagadoogoochoochoo won this last year.
