A four-year-old won this last year and the only entry from the younger brigade this time, CRYSTAL EARTH, can follow suit. Peter Fahey's filly made a very promising start to her career in a Fairyhouse bumper a couple of weeks ago and with that under her belt looks set to go two places better. Mini Vic is sent out quickly after her second place in a big field at Limerick on Tuesday and is certain to make a bold bid but Tellherimhere ran poorly in the summer after her decent debut effort at Limerick. Silver Circle looks booked for a place at least as she hasn't run badly in a couple of slightly better bumpers.
