Verdict
Testing conditions will make this a real stamina test and though Millie Le Bach is a progressive mare she's never raced on ground with plenty of give. The going won't be a concern for Good As Gold, who ran well behind Tropical Three at Limerick, nor for New River, though she tackles the trip for the first time. OUR ELLIE B is slowly making her way back after a long absence and showed at Sligo last month that her turn should arrive soon. She's handed the vote though winning bumper Tooreen, the very easy Tipperary bumper winner Ballykeereen, and the consistent Faanan Aldaar, should also be respected in an open contest.
