Guiding Star gained her first ever victory over this track and trip last month but suffered a massive 10lb rise and finished last at Down Royal. Little Miss Willow, who finished third in that previous race, has a big pull in the weights and can reverse the form. Duncan Of Scotland has also climbed the ratings since completing an early season double but ran very well in that Down Royal event though finished behind the lightly-raced runner-up BIEN CHASE. The latter has never won but was having only his second start for new connections and was only headed right on the line. Count Of Carabass ran very well at Limerick though a strike-rate of 2-37 doesn't inspire confidence but Breezolini made a promising comeback after a long break at Naas and wouldn't need much more to feature.
