This is the sixth renewal and no three-year-old has won the race though SUPAGIRL (NAP) is the only course winner having won over the trip in March and again when beating older horses at Leopardstown later. She's run in better-class handicaps the last twice and can buck the trend. Prime Chief made a winning reappearance at Down Royal last June and produced two very good runs in October but is now 12lb higher and would prefer some cut in the ground. Alhaajeb has struggled off his new mark after landing a Gowran handicap in May and the three-year-olds Bridgehead and Dudley's Bar face stiff tasks against older rivals.
