Cornakill Rose looked in need of further when a beaten favourite at Tramore though testing ground would bring her stamina into play. Minnies Secret finished third in a Listed contest in September but was well beaten when runner-up here earlier this month. Colin Bowe does well with former point-to-pointers and WESTERN VICTORY, who was impressive when odds-on at Borris House a couple of weeks ago, could prove better class than these. Castafiore Park won a Tinahely point in October and ran well over hurdles at Navan earlier this month so it's a surprise to see her in a bumper.
