Jim Bolger has won this three times in the last six years, all with three-year-olds who have won all but one of the nine renewals. He runs Tobann here and the daughter of Teofilo deserves her chance in this company after landing a premier handicap at Leopardstown in very good style. SEA SIREN arrived as a multiple Group 1 winner in Australia and looked set for a good season when landing a Listed contest at Fairyhouse. However, she didn't run up to that form behind Slade Power in a Curragh Group 3 last time and will need to raise her game. Hopefully she can do that but if she doesn't then Fiesolana is waiting in the wings as she's already a dual winner at this level and found 1m1f in a Group 2 last time just too much for her. Frank Dunne doesn't have too many runners but they are always worth noting and One Spirit, who had the classy Gordon Lord Byron behind at Naas last June, should be noted in the betting.
