Verdict
Very few of these are in any sort of form though LITTLEVIX is an exception after scoring at Gowran last week. That was over 7f on testing ground but she'd run well over this trip on good going at Naas earlier and can defy a 7lb rise. Royal Admiral has been running quite well on the all-weather and has to be respected while Invincible Queen has been finding her handicap mark a bit high this season and is 8lb higher than her last winning mark. Mcguigan has gradually dropped to a mark he should be winning from soon while first-time blinkers could have the desired effect on Fox Dream, who is 19lb higher on the all-weather.
