Willie Mullins won this four years in succession before losing out last year. SHEWEARSITWELL landed a Galway bumper and a maiden hurdle at Sligo in the style of smart prospect and, though taking on much better rivals, can make her allowance count. The Very Man has to concede her a stone which may prove beyond him despite the fact that he's on a five-timer and he won a Galway Listed contest in July. He had Wajaaha eight lengths behind when they were 1-2 at Downpatrick in March and should confirm the form while Goodbye Someday arrives on a hat-trick having won three of his last four. January Jets has changed stables and made an impressive start for Henry De Bromhead at Galway last month.
