MARIANS GAL (16) is a likeable mare. Developed a good relationship with this apprentice jockey for whom she has won and placed twice in five starts. Could be primed for this after a mini break and is the one to beat in an open contest. MAXWELL SMART (10) was keeping on for third at Sligo. Can progress further here and rates well against this field. Key player. TRISHULI RIVER (8) provided great form at Dundalk throughout the winter. Been freshened and races from a much lower mark now back on turf. Likely threat to all. CREATIVE DANCER (19) posted best effort yet when 4. 5L third at Sligo on reappearance. Might be improving and with the benefit of race fitness may take a further step forward. Big each way claims.
