Lady Anner has only raced in pattern race company since landing a Roscommon maiden in 2020 and was only beaten a length in a Listed contest here in August. She has to concede weight-for-age to her younger rivals and SHOW OF STARS looks the one to beat. She didn't quite get the run of the race when two lengths fourth in what looked a strong Group 3 at Leopardstown and can see off the unbeaten pair Suwayra, a convincing winner of a Leopardstown maiden last July, and One For Bobby, a surprise but comfortable winner over the course and distance three weeks ago. Dundalk winner Jezebel Queen couldn't make the transition to Listed company last time.
