BALLYNOCK HILL beat Bennys Girl in a point a year ago and was having only her second subsequent start when three lengths behind that rival at Ballyarthur a fortnight ago. With that under her belt she can make the score 2-1 in her favour. Mick Winters enjoys plenty of success in these races and Theatre Princess, who gained her sixth success between the flags at Bandon last month, should be thereabouts. Pops Choice showed some improvement to land her first victory at Liscarroll last weekend while the youngster Graces Island is progressing very nicely and stayed on very stoutly to score at Belclare a fortnight ago.
