Eilise's A Lady was a 50/1 chance when making a successful debut at Kilbeggan but showed that was no fluke with an impressive victory at Galway. But she has a double penalty against smart rivals including Purple Mountain, who landed the odds in comfortable style at Killarney. Raven Rule was always up with the pace when scoring easily at Tramore while Sheer Liss and Lady Heath fought a keen battle at Down Royal. The latter comes out best at the weights but the winner has transferred to Gordon Elliott. Mighty Meggsie has done little wrong in defeat though finished over two lengths behind MONAS MELODY at Punchestown last month and Derek O'Connor's mount gets the vote. More Info had Cottie a head behind at Clonmel and is better off at the weights.
