A mares' point-to-point Flat race hardly looks the best of betting mediums though the presence of a Willie Mullins entry makes the decision slightly easier. MONBEG ROSE cost Gigginstown £60,000 after she comfortably scored at Tyrella in January and she'll be tuned up for this. Danali also made a successful start at Tallanstown and has more of a Flat pedigree on her dam's side while Kate Van Hall was well supported on her successful debut at Dromahane. Mick Winters usually has one up his sleeve in these races so the easy Curraheen winner Gentle Mel is one to note in the market. The progressive Flights Of Fantasy would enter the equation if the ground turned heavy and she has the benefit of Derek O'Connor in the saddle.
