Urticaire was third in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last month but doesn't look an easy ride and his trainer saddles a viable alternative in VICKY DE L'OASIS. She hasn't been disgraced in her last four starts but there's a chance she'll return to her best on this quicker surface. The four-year-old Florishwells D'Ete also represents the champion trainer and has ability but Little King Robin was well behind Urticaire at Fairyhouse. Whisper Rock is improving but this is easily her toughest task to date and Market Rasen winner Western Diva also steps up in class. It took Good As Gold 15 starts to get off the mark over hurdles and she will surely be found out in this company.
