FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Although yet to totally convince over this trip, CLEVER AND COOL stayed on well enough at Cork last time to suggest she has the stamina for such a test. The form of her win at Tipperary last month over just half-a-furlong shorter looks very strong in the context of this race. Provided her stamina reserves remain enact, the Jim Bolger-trained three-year-old should go very close. Mashia proved bitterly disappointing in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time but she was stepping up in both trip and class. On the balance of her form, the Dermot Weld-trained filly remains a smart prospect who could well have more to offer at this level. American Sonja doesn't have the easiest of draws to overcome but the Tasleet filly is a very consistent performer who should be involved.
