The four-year-old MISSY TATA looks the one to be on. Gordon Elliott's filly ran a tremendous race in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham then beat older rivals with the minimum of fuss at Punchestown last month. Ten Times Better was beaten around 12l that day and is unlikely to turn the tables while Legacy Gold and The Nutcracker were a long way behind. The Brock Inn ran her best race to date when just failing to concede 10lb to Elusive Ivy at the Punchestown Festival and looks the main threat on that form though Tocororo has been racing at a very high level since landing a Fairyhouse maiden in January.
