Willie Mullins has won five of the last eight and ALLEGORIE DE VASSY will be at short odds to keep up the sequence. Unbeaten in three starts since arriving from France, she was very impressive in beating Malina Girl 19 lengths on her chasing debut in a Limerick Grade 2 and though the runner-up will be 6lb better off it's unlikely to be enough to turn the tables. Brides Hill was challenging when falling two out on her chasing bow at Fairyhouse and has come up against smart opposition in her last two starts though that looks the case again here. Six Feet Apart should do bets of the remainder.
