Robyndeglory is a course and distance winner who is just 2lb higher than her last winning mark and will be ridden by a 7lb claimer. GOOD AS HELL is better over fences but ran well back over timber at Wexford where heavy ground took its toll in the closing stages. She is 24lb lower over timber and looks the one to beat. Winning bumper Mitiva stepped up to this trip at Thurles and was only outpaced on the run-in so she should go close as should Magic Conqueror. The latter is still a maiden but has been runner-up in two of her last three and has no stamina limitations. She had four lengths to spare over C‘est Rien when runner-up over 2m7f at Thurles though the latter only weakened in the closing stages. Lucky Viv is consistent enough but has been beaten three times off this mark.
