RIOBAMBA won this last year and looked right back to her best when just touched off by Separate Ways at Listowel. The winner lines up in the earlier Listed contest and a big run would be a massive bonus for the prospects of Edward Lynam's filly completing the double. Headford Lady is running so well that she has to be a threat though, having defied a 10lb rise to complete a double at Roscommon, she is now asked to carry a further 13lb here. First reserve Ultra Cool would be a live danger after her fine victory at the Curragh on Monday where she came with a late rattle to beat Footprint over 7f. Today's extra will do nicely and she is looking well treated at present. The handicapper may just have hold of Dotada at present but the lightly-raced Feis Ceoil is better than her latest run at the Curragh in July suggests and she should have benefited from a nice break.
