Verdict

STAYSOUND SUSIE was better than ever when scoring at the Curragh last time and makes most appeal in a competitive sprint. Recent Dundalk winner Bishopton and the returning Tango Flare complete the shortlist.

6	Isn't ground dependent but resumed winning ways when landing a 5f handicap in the mud at the Curragh in November. Shaped well on her first 2 starts this year prior to landing another heavy-ground sprint there (6f) 24 days ago and has to be shortlisted on the back of that career best. 1st Pick 6 Staysound Susie (Ire) Jockey: J.

7	Improved when winning a Dundalk maiden last summer before following up with a wide-margin handicap success at Down Royal (7f). Well positioned to make winning return from 4 months off at Dundalk (7f) last month and might need to progress further from 3 lb higher mark. In first-time cheekpieces here. 2nd Pick 7 Bishopton (Ire) Jockey: W. M. Lordan Trainer: Miss Natalia Lupini, Ireland J: W. M. Lordan T: Miss Natalia Lupini, Ireland	92	-	-	-	23%	Scratched

2	Won 23-runner handicap (50/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on penultimate start last year prior to fine second in a 10-runner listed race at C&D. Has gone well fresh before, so is respected after 6 months off. 3rd Pick 2 Tango Flare (Ire) Jockey: L. T. Mcateer Trainer: Patrick T. Foley, Ireland J: L. T. Mcateer T: Patrick T.
