Verdict

ROCK ON LILY is taken against the Willie Mullins-trained Pause And Ponder. The selection made all to win her last race when eased heavily to win by 10L and can repeat the feat here against the likely favourite. Top weight Tidy Zag fourth of 16 in this race last year and the Henry De Bromhead-trained Simiel who is expected to improve on his last two starts in this company.
  1. Rock On Lilly
  2. Pause And Ponder
  3. Tidy Zag
