A competitive bumper to end the day. Carrig Millie's best run came over 2m3f at Naas and this may be on the short side but Supreme Bob showed real promise behind Caolaneoin at Leopardstown and is certain to have come on for the run. Starling Force has done nothing wrong in narrow defeats here and at Naas and will be a tough nut to crack but the nod goes to CAIRDIN. Mags Mullins' charge made a very promising racecourse debut behind Samain at Punchestown with subsequent easy winner Espresso Lady a further 10 lengths back in third and that form looks good enough for this.
