Race preview
Robin Gold lost little in defeat when bidding for a hat-trick last time, bumping into some solid operators when having to settle for third. She arrives here in good form and should go well again. Same Circus was second to the thriving Dell' Arca off this mark at Aintree and can't be ignored, with Philip Kirby's Dame De Ruban also entering calculations. However, it is interesting that COILLTE EILE now finds herself rated 5lb lower than when winning this last season and despite being slightly underwhelming since, won't mind conditions and could bounce back to something like her best on her first outing for Fergal O'Brien.
