PASSING TRADE gained the only victory of her career at this fixture last year and is edging back to another success judged on a narrow defeat at Limerick. The assessor has surprisingly dropped her 1lb and she can double her tally. Lady Scathach completed a Gowran double on ground with plenty of give in May but has struggled from her new mark on quicker ground. Star Quality hasn't been beaten far in her last two races at Naas and is gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Scream has a course and distance victory to her credit and ran better than her form figure suggests on her reappearance over a trip too short at Limerick.
