Despite a 7lb rise, CRACKING NAME looks a decent bet to follow up her recent win at Cork. David Marnane’s filly appears to be on an upward curve and goes well here. Miss Zizi is still a maiden but has gone close on a couple of occasions and will be thereabouts if she handles the step up in trip. Dancing Doll usually races over further but she finished close up in a better race than this last time at Leopardstown and Check Your Pockets hasn’t been disgraced in a couple of runs this year and has been dropped another 2lb. She’s preferred to Nivvo and Mnemonic Alexander.
