Willie Mullins will have had plenty of options for this and relies on Heia, a very close third in a Grade A handicap at Fairyhouse before finding 2m3f beyond her in similar company at Punchestown. The lightly-raced and progressive SANTA ROSSA is top-rated by virtue of her second to Darasso in a Fairyhouse Grade 2. She looks the one to beat though Anna Bunina won a Grade 2 at Ayr last month but couldn't quite stage a repeat in a Haydock Grade 3 a week ago. Copper Nation's easy victory at Cork was over 2m3f on heavy ground and Hidden Land needs to step-up on her Downpatrick handicap success.
