A winner at Fairyhouse a week ago, DERVO ANNIE can record back-to-back successes. While that breakthrough success came over 6f, the Claire O'Connell-trained filly had finished runner-up behind a dual subsequent scorer over C&D on her previous start, and Jack Kearney's allowance reduces a 6lb rise. Having gone down by the minimum margin at Limerick earlier this month, Concaire looks a serious threat, while Toy Soldier was well fancied when finishing fourth at Killarney last month but won't find it easy here from a wide draw.
Prediction: 1st Dervo Annie, 2nd Concaire, 3rd Toy Soldier
