Verdict

Winning bumper Erins Benefit disputed the lead throughout before unseating at the last over 2m5f at Tramore having been placed in all previous starts. She'll take some beating but may have to succumb to ROYAL ILLUSION. Willie Mullins' mare is a stayer on the Flat having won the 2019 Irish Cesarewitch and she finished third in the November Handicap at Navan. She's also won two bumpers and will have found 2m too short on her hurdling debut at Naas in December. The remainder look as though they are playing for a place with winning bumper Mare Quimby interesting on her hurdles debut and Rhyme'n Rhythm, a former stablemate of the selection, having had breathing difficulties on her final start for the yard in October.
