Verdict
MOTE PARK showed little in two bumper starts but is likely to leave that form well behind and gets the nod in a poor contest. Her former stablemate Dina Leen stopped very quickly on her hurdling debut at Thurles in November while Bayonetta's best run came over 2m4f and she was well beaten over this sort of trip at Down Royal last time. Gaye Winnie has been well beaten in both starts but Jack Kennedy rides rather than Sea Aster, who showed some promise at Punchestown. Spice Diva scored between the flags in April and her yard get plenty of winners here.
