Lisa O'Neill has been in good form and can steer DALOUGA to victory. Gordon Elliott's filly made a fine start to her career when chasing home Half The Odds at Fairyhouse and unless there's something special amongst the newcomers should go one better. Wings Like Arion looks the main threat as she had just been passed in the straight by the high-class Minutestomidnight at Wexford when stumbling and unseating her rider. Nun's Cross finished first past at Clonmel in March but was disqualified and placed last after testing positive for a prohibited substance. That was on heavy going so she'll need to adapt to very different conditions here. Victoria Bay easily won a point at Inch last month and Colin Bowe has done well with similar types in the past.
