Verdict

Willie Mullins has a tremendous record in this and Saylavee, a Listed winner here last December, can't be dismissed despite being tailed off behind SHECOULDBEANYTHING in a similar contest at the Festival in April. The winner has won twice at that level subsequently and was giving away lumps of weight in a Listed handicap at Listowel in September. Anna Bunina was a long way behind her at Killarney in May and reappeared with a poor run at Gowran and would prefer better ground. Rioga Choice has only won once but was in touch when falling at the last in a Fairyhouse Grade 1 in April and looks the type to do well this season as does Broomfield Bijou, who completed a double in a strong handicap here in April.
