ABOVE US ONLY SKY has run well here before, including from higher marks over this trip. She shaped nicely despite a slow break this month coming back from a layoff and, fitter now, is fancied to burst her maiden tag with Colin Keane booked to ride. Pari Passu was second over C&D and should get in the scrap with a smart claimer to assist while it would be foolish to write off the game Lunastar despite the 9lb hike she received for winning here 19 days ago. Fiannaiocht is an interesting AW first-timer and needs a betting check.
