Four wins for Sir Mark Prescott last year; took her form to a new level when taking a 1m4f Roscommon Listed race on second start for this yard; not a bad run in a Cork Group 3 since; she might find this trip a bit sharp

Four-time winner in Britain has made a very positive start with this stable, finishing third over C&D in Munster Oaks after 206 days off before producing clear career best when bolting up by 4.75l in Listed Lenebane Stakes at Roscommon (1m4f, good) 45 days ago, making all; proving progressive and is capable of taking this step up in grade in her stride; leading chance for last year's winning stable.

Won three handicaps in Britain for Sir Mark Prescott; very pleasing start for this stable when a 2.75l third of 9 in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) behind the promising Sparan Nua; a bit to find on paper here, but will love the ground and more black type could be on the cards.

Verdict

An improving 3yo, MISS SCOTT posted her best effort when runner-up in a Salisbury Listed race over 1m2f last time and can progress enough to take this. Sindria was in the mix against some quality colts here last time and can go well back against fillies. Faiyum is best with some ease so if the track takes significant rain then her chance is enhanced. [Tyrone Molloy]
