Verdict
Placed at Limerick in January, there should be more to come form Misspublican on her handicap debut, but November's Navan winner Tilly Ann has struggled off a higher mark since. Brookville has claims on her second to Bold Present over a longer trip in February, while dual hurdles winner First Beauty cannot be discounted on her first start of the year. SPECIAL TOKEN followed up a bumper win here with victory on her hurdling bow at Cork at this time last year. She finished a creditable fifth behind Golden Sunbird, who has since won again, at Leopardstown in February and on that basis she gets the nod here.
