Riven Light has disappointed this campaign though should find this trip more to his liking after staying on over 1m2f at Leopardstown. SOLAGE was having only her fifth career start when landing a course and distance Listed contest so further progress can see her go in again. It's hard to know what to make of Lady Stormborn, a 14l maiden winner on testing ground at Leopardstown while Stivers has shown nothing in two starts since arriving from South America. Donnachie wouldn't be able to do the weight on either Quote, Invitation or Jumellea and his mount, Perfect Tapatino, has plenty to find.
