It's almost two years since KARALEE made a very impressive debut for Willie Mullins at Killarney but this superbly-bred mare still has plenty of time on her side and looks a very bright prospect. Goulane Davina has been chasing and couldn't handle Grade 2 company last time but she's tough and consistent and should give a good account. Polar Present didn't enjoy the heavy ground at the last meeting though may be better over further but Tearsofclewbay showed plenty of potential for Philip Hobbs and has joinded Gordon Elliott, who also has the progressive Clonmel winner Strike Is Back engaged.
