The winner and runner-up from last year, Headford View and Hallie's Comet, are back for another attempt and the winner is 6lbs better off despite her short-head victory. Both are higher at the weights, however, and face stiff tasks against in-form rivals. Three-year-olds have an excellent record in the race and it could be one of the younger brigade who lands the spoils today. BRAZILIAN BEAUTY was galvanised by first-time blinkers when setting a blistering pace to make all over the trip at Limerick. Her earlier runs had been over much further and providing the blinds do their job again she will be difficult to catch. Both victories by Chorus Of Angels have come over today's trip though soft ground prevailed each time. She ran well enough on good going at Gowran last time and is definitely on the short-list as is Intapeace, just behind at Gowran on her first start since November. Dawn Eclipse beat a huge field over 6f here before a very good run behind Full Title over today's trip at Cork while Drombeg Dawn has run two superb races over a mile here recently and was only caught in the dying strides last time when Camira was just behind.
