KATES BENEFIT will take all the beating after her narrow defeat in a Cork Grade 3 in December. She couldn't quite go the pace back over hurdles last time and this should be more to her liking. Turica wasn't far behind Way Up In The Air at Thurles last month and has since finished runner-up at Clonmel, though beaten 17l by Kandinski. Rory Anna started a much shorter price in that Thurles event but jumped poorly before doing much better behind Domination at Limerick. Sugar Bullet has had enough chances and probably needs further.
