Verdict

OB LA DI ran a cracker from a less-than-ideal position when second at Leopardstown last month and Johnny Murtagh's mare can notch her third career success dropped back in distance sporting reapplied cheekpieces. Diamond Exchange is only 3 lb higher than when scoring here just under 3 weeks ago, so she's put forward as the main threat, with Alice Monet and stable-switcher Guardian of Realm taken to fight out third.

4	C&D winner around this time last year who shaped well when second of 6 at Leopardstown (13f, good) last month, just not quite able to reel in the well-ridden winner having been far from ideally placed. One to be interested in back down in trip in reapplied cheekpieces. 1st Pick 4 Ob La Di (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

3	Notched her third success of the year in 11-runner event at this course (11f, good) just under 3 weeks ago, never far away and responding well. 3 lb nudge far from insurmountable so she's one to consider. 2nd Pick 3 Diamond Exchange (Ire) Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: Mrs J.

1	Progressed into a useful filly last summer, winning twice before a good fourth of 9 in listed race at York. Showed up well for a long way and is entitled to be sharper for her recent Sligo third after 10 months off and her yard is in decent nick. 3rd Pick 1 Alice Monet (Ire) Jockey: S. Coen Trainer: D. K.
