FormscanBy Gary Carson - EMPRESS XJ looks the potential improver in the field and may be able to step forward from her debut effort at Naas. The Inns Of Court filly missed the kick that day and made up ground in the straight before flattening out in the closing stages to finish fifth to Whispersinthewind. The second and fourth from that race have won since so the form looks solid. There are a few of these are rated very similarly. Touch The Sound is still relatively unexposed. She didn't get home after travelling well at Navan last time but had run a big race when second previously at Leopardstown and could be the danger. Polaris Dancer is more exposed but has some solid form.
For three years old and upwards, maidens at starting

Quotes on Noble Hilltop (IRE)
I'm delighted with that. She's a nice little mare,. She had bits and pieces of form when we bought her and we thought there was a little bit of improvement in her. A few of the boys from England thankfully got involved in her. We picked this race out as we thought she wanted two-and-a-half miles, she was staying on over two. We worked her a few times and Kieren said she definitely wanted a trip. She won, it doesn't often happen like that!. I've been here since last April, I was in England for 40 years. I was in Pipes for 20 odd years, both with Martin and David. I was there in the good old days of Carvill's Hill. I trained under my own name for a while in the early 90s. I had five winners from 50 runners and 45 of them weren't off! I only had a handful of runners. We started off here doing a bit of pre-training and breaking, there are lots of yards around Meath. Then I got the restricted licence and a couple of lads I know very kindly sent me a few horses. I'm based in Lee Valley near Ratoath, I rented a yard there off David Eiffe. We have a few youngsters and they all look great until you run them. We have a couple belonging to Jim Bolger, a nice juvenile that will run in July. I'm originally from Wexford hence the Jim Bolger connection. That was the first place I went to as a 15-year-old. He said he'd support me and fair play to him he did. He's always been good that way.
