DINOBLUE had her winning run ended only by the top-class El Fabiolo in the Dublin Chase at Leopardstown last time and this looks hers for the taking back against her own sex with the longer trip unlikely to be an issue. Her stablemate Allegorie de Vassy was an excellent second in this last season and can fill the same spot again, with Limerick Lace a clear best of the rest.
