Oscar'swan is tried in a hood after a disappointing run at Fairyhouse and if in the same kind of form as when a close second to Duty Dance at Thurles she'll get into the frame. FLAVIANA hadn't shown much in three starts before a much better run behind I Knew Well at Wexford last month and, if continuing her progress, she should be the one to beat. Winning point-to-pointer Give Her Bach appears better over further though she didn't enjoy the heavy ground at Limerick last time. Gold Tantrum has had 34 career starts and is yet to win though she's been going quite well at Dundalk.
