Sweetest Taboo ran over a mile at Naas in August but showed that sprinting is her game when easily landing a Tipperary maiden over this trip. She has a huge weight to carry on her handicap debut but is obviously progressing nicely. Johnny Lawman also scored at Tipperary in July then finished around 5l behind Local Flier over 6f at Leopardstown before failing to act on Dundalk's Polytrack. Lily's Prince has had 21 starts and never raced over the minimum trip. He appeared to need every yard when catching Teeline over 6f at Fairyhouse and may find a few of these too speedy. Big Bad Lily won this a year ago from 7lb lower and La Canaada is also up the same amount from winning the previous year. Blueberry Gal has yet to win but is getting closer and can reach the frame in first-time blinkers but a chance is taken with ENTER THE RED, who was in fine form on soft ground at this time last year and enters the fray fresh after a break since May.
