Verdict
Brian Ellison loves to have runners, and winners, here and OUR KYLIE can follow up last year's victory. She's 8lb higher this time but, as with a year ago, arrives in winning form from the Flat and Danny Mullins can steer her home. La Bella Vida has been improving dramatically and looked a smart prospect when landing a novices' contest at Sligo and her young rider's claim is a bonus, as it is for Hello Sweetie who has gone up a massive 14lb for her Ballinrobe victory. The latter had Lily Yeats behind over fences in October but Shane Crawley's charge arrives in good shape having scored over the bigger obstacles at Tramore. The Birdie Crowe is progressing well and easily landed the odds in a Limerick maiden.
