Jessica Harrington has won the last two of these and MY MINERVINA gives her a fine chance of a hat-trick. She's 6lb higher than her latest victory at Killarney but had something in hand at the finish and can go in again. Glamourista ran poorly at Leopardstown on Thursday while Sheer Chance is 0-13 and on the same mark as when well beaten at Limerick but Torn looks a major threat. Runner-up to Ha Ha Ha over this trip at Leopardstown, she didn't get going until too late over 7f at Dundalk and was only beaten a neck. Any Dream Will Do found 1m4f too far at Bellewstown but is probably a bit high in the weights.
