Joseph O'Brien won this a year ago and Glocca Mora led for a long way before fading in a much better race than this at Punchestown. His stable companion Subset has a stayer's pedigree and is likely to find a few too quick. Millen To One was a 33/1 chance at Fairyhouse but belied his odds with a fine effort and further progress looks guaranteed. YUKON LIL finished a close third in that latter event after looking the likely winner in the closing stages. She'll have learnt plenty from that and looks the one to be on. Two Shoes Tom attracted support at Thurles but never looked like winning.
