Willie Mullins has won the last three of these but Honeys Joy hasn't shown much and is difficult to fancy. Kala Brandy is reverting to a bumper after a couple of fair runs over hurdles while Kris Kindle made a very good start to her career before losing her form but there appeared to be signs of a revival at Limerick. Solunar had no answer to a pair of smart performers here last month but it was an encouraging effort though a longer trip may be required. After a very promising run at Limerick, SIDE SADDLE was sent to Navan for a Listed contest but she couldn't handle the step-up in grade. This looks more her class and she can gain her first victory.
