Addosh has been unlucky on a couple of occasions since winning at Market Rasen in September and her experience will stand her in good stead here, though she does carry a small penalty. WHITE PEPPER was impressive in a Galway maiden in October and recent winning form has been crucial in this Listed contest in recent years. Lady Pacifico beat Angels Landing on debut at Leicester and Six Feet Apart was also a debut winner at Fairyhouse while Malakahna beat Aliomaana at Fakenham, though the runner-up is better off at the weights here. Calvados is also weighted to reverse Punchestown running with Sea Sessions.
