After three of the last six winners hailed from Ireland, this renewal has been left to the Brits and that could be to
MARIA'S BENEFIT. Stuart Edmunds' mare has made good strides over hurdles and her latest effort at Taunton marks her out as the one to beat.
Dame Rose is proven in this grade and will probably appreciate the stronger pace that she is likely to get now dropped back to 2m, while
Dusky Legend and
Irish Roe are both admirable opponents who should be capable of having a say.
- Maria's Benefit
- Dusky Legend
