Joseph Murphy has trained the winner of this in the last two years and has a couple trying to complete the hat-trick. SISTER SLEW has hinted at ability on the Polytrack and ran her best race so far when stepped up to a mile in April. She may be worth risking against largely disappointing rivals though Always Annie could improve on her fourth over a longer trip at Limerick where she missed the break. Estinaad would need to improve for the fitting of a hood while Haraza dropped away tamely at Clonmel last time and Magical Steps was well beaten on her reappearance at the Curragh.
