Verdict
Texas Rose ran well enough over this trip at Cork on her penultimate start to be considered for this and Divine Steps produced easily her best run to date when making her hurdling debut on that track last month. With normal progress she'll be in the shake-up while May Dullea has produced a couple of smart performances over the minimum trip and if staying the extra is certain to be thereabouts. ROYAL MOLL went to Sligo last month for her belated racecourse debut and landed a bumper in the style of a potentially decent stayer over jumps. This is a fair test and she's expected to come through with flying colours before going on to better things.
