Botani was only beaten a neck over course and distance two weeks ago and will be fancied to go one better. She should again beat third Lady Lingo but ERINS BENEFIT (NAP) may well have won at Killarney had Denis O’Regan had her closer to the pace and she should recoup losses today given a more positive ride. Flat winner Place Des Vosges is interesting having found only one too good on her hurdles bow at Wexford while Rambling Rose won a bumper in the summer and also warrants a mention.
