Verdict

Drummullagh Rocky made all over the track and trip last month and was well supported to follow up at Fairyhouse but weakened very quickly after the third last. An Droichead Gorm was 4l behind in that run on this track and though 6lb better off doesn't look up to closing the gap. Enduring Love scored on heavy ground at Fairyhouse in November but has struggled from a 6lb higher mark so the vote goes to MISTY ADAGE. Jimmy Mangan's mare chased home subsequent winner Highest Benefit at Tramore then found 3m too far at Thurles and looks on a fair mark.
