Mystic Theatre's trainer won this 12 months ago with Augusta Kate and she is respected despite suffering an 11L loss to Bluegrass Princess at Naas last month. She'd previously looked very promising and isn't to be harshly judged on the run. The winner there is also entitled to come into this contest in good heart while Half The Odds also brings winning form from Wexford recently. That success was a telling nod in the direction of MINUTESTOMIDNIGHT, who had earlier given her a sound beating at the same track and with title-chasing amateur rider Codd in excellent form they are tipped to maintain winning ways in this contest.
