Nina Carberry has won this three times in recent years and was on board when MISS NORTH LIGHT made her debut behind the experienced Rathmuck Native at Downpatrick last month. The pair couldn't get past after travelling well but the run will have done Gordon Elliott's mare good and she can go one better. She should have a fitness edge over Allez Gold, who showed plenty of potential in two starts earlier this year but is likely to do better when the emphasis is more on stamina. Cliffside Park ran poorly on his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan in August after showing promise in bumpers but Henry's Gold disappointed in her two runs following a very encouraging debut at Roscommon. Mariah Royale has the pedigree for this and any market support should be noted.
