ZIPPORAH is the only one of these to have won on the course and she was in very good form around here last spring. She'll be better for her reappearance after a long break and can take this moderate handicap under Rachael Blackmore. Show And Go has been chasing and can revert to hurdles on a 14lb lower mark though couldn't take advantage when last seen over timber in the summer. Misty Millie ran very well when a close fourth to Cubomania at Down Royal and the winner has won again though Garvan Donnelley's mare has yet to prove she stays this far. Coole Craft scored at Thurles in March and ran easily his best race subsequently when placed on heavy ground at Tramore so looks a threat.
