BY THE GRACE has clearly had her issues, but there was plenty to like about her Hereford win last month and she is taken to defy a 3lb rise. Lillistar should be suited by these less testing conditions and looks the main danger, while Gms Prince is also worth considering.

TARANIS DUBH won his sole start in Irish points and can maintain his unbeaten record on first start under Rules. Kildare d’Irlande showed plenty first time up but may have to settle for second again, while Buck Whaley, another Rules debutant from an Irish pointing background, can also play a minor role.
