Verdict

Having caught the eye when third at Leopardstown earlier this month, ANVIKA can score for trainer Sheila Lavery. Held up towards the rear on that occasion, the five-year-old mare made stylish headway entering the straight, keeping on nicely to reach the frame. With both of her previous wins having come on a sounder surface, the daughter of Dandy Man may have just struggled to pick up close home. Back on better ground here, she looks a leading candidate. Spanish Temptress, who finished fourth in that aforementioned contest, is another with every chance. Trained locally by Richard O'Brien, this race is likely to have been a target for some time. Dual C&D winner Amemri also merits respect.

Top Tip: Anvika (3)
Watch out for: Spanish Temptress (1)

SPANISH TEMPTRESS didn’t quite build on her previous effort when finishing very close second two starts ago at Leopardstown last time, but she remains the type to bounce back quickly over this shorter trip and this mark is certainly workable if she returns to her better form. Una Matata shaped better than the bare result when beaten only two lengths at Down Royal and, with a clearer passage, looks capable of playing a leading role again off the same rating. Amemri is a previous winner in this race last year and is now back to below her mark from that day, so she’s very much of interest returning to a mile after a disappointing run at 7f last time if able to reproduce her earlier form.
