RITA LEVI was narrowly beaten in three starts, the latest when long odds-on at Navan in July, before leading for a long way in a big field over 6f at the Curragh. She probably doesn't have too much to beat here and her trainer should know how he stands with Sundance Star, who was just beaten by the stable's Bailly over this track and trip last time. Ken Condon's filly looks the main threat though Rockview Spirit wasn't far behind the selection at Navan before a moderate effort at the Curragh. Joseph O'Brien won this last year and Commodus is taking a big drop in trip after two runs over 7f.
