Noivado won a Fairyhouse maiden in June and though unable to cope with Leo Minor over this track and trip next time it wasn't a bad effort and there's some scope for further improvement. Member State made an encouraging debut and started odds-on for a maiden claimer over 7f at Tipperary but faded after travelling well up to this trip. Little Clarinet showed the benefit of her opening run to win comfortably at Navan. It wasn't the greatest of races but she still showed her inexperience and with that under her belt will make a bold bid to complete a double. ELUSIVE BEAUTY is undoubtedly the form pick and will be difficult to beat. Her close third in a Group 3 at the Curragh in June is the stand-out form and she ran very well behind Callender in a premier nursery at Navan last time. Michael Halford trains that winner and his newcomer Conron is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first four foals to race.
