The outcome of this seems to depend on whether SUNSET STANZA handles the soft ground. If she does then Dermot Weld's filly is probably the one as she was beaten only a length on her debut at Naas last month. Mafi looks next best on his second at the same track in July, though Loch Ard showed promise when fourth at Cork in October last year and makes his belated reappearance here. Ridayef was placed over hurdles a fortnight ago and makes his debut on the Flat, while the newcomer Bancnuanaheireann is a half-brother to a winner and worth noting.
