After making such an impression when beating three subsequent winners on her Dundalk debut, it's hard to oppose LADY IMAN here. The reopposing Stop The Nation and C&D winner Power Blue will provide decent opposition, while the market will likely be the best guide to the chances of newcomers True Love and Spring Is Here.

Sioux Nation colt cost 80,000euros as a yearling; second foal; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 92); taking individual showed plenty on Dundalk debut when chasing home Lady Iman and went one better over C&D last month, still green but quickening well; type to continue improving but tough task reversing Dundalk form with Lady Iman.
