Joseph O'Brien has multiple entires in this race, and the pick for me is Beautiful Affair. The filly makes her handicap debut and looks to be on a useful mark.
Down significantly in class after a respectable 6-length defeat in Group 3 company, Orchidaceae brings strong course and going credentials (100% win at this track, 50% on similar ground). With W J Lee booked and a notable mark advantage, she looks the one to beat in this field.
Unbeaten at this distance (1 run, 1 win) and arrives off a maiden victory at Dundalk. Trainer Ger Lyons is in form, and her pedigree (by Mehmas) suggests she’ll handle the step up in class. Open to significant improvement and likely to dictate from the front.

Pickersgill won here over six furlongs in March on soft ground. She is now being upped in trip, and provided she takes to the ground conditions, could outrun her odds and squeeze into a place.
