Balboni hasn't been beaten far in decent company and should find a race of this nature soon but Big Vincey was a big disappointment at Limerick after a promising effort at Down Royal. Definite Elegance produced a fine debut run here in July and, though not up to that form at Naas in October, she can bounce back though once again it's a Willie Mullins newcomer who can take the spoils. GRANGECLARE PEARL is out of a mare who has produced numerous winners and this latest offspring has all the credentials to make a winning debut. The Buddy Pass may do best of the remainder.
