Nell's Well, a winner between the flags, landed a Tramore maiden over this trip and made a bold bid to complete a double over here a couple of weeks ago. Gali Flight kept on doggedly over 2m3f on testing ground at Clonmel while Purdey's Gift showed his first sign of form when stepped up to this trip at Tramore. Misty Millie isn't the most consistent but was still in the lead when falling at the last here two weeks ago and would be a threat if none the worse. She's Commanche is 8lb higher than her last victory though ran well over a trip too short last time while Paddy Wickla is the same amount higher following his Clonmel success. The lightly-raced KILKENNY STAR caught the eye on his handicap debut at Punchestown, staying on strongly after having plenty to do, and is handed the vote in a tricky handicap.
