Given the current form of the stable and their record at previous Listowel festivals, the eight-year-old mare LISTEN DEAR can see off the attentions of the Henry-De Bromhead-trained Alisier D'Lrlande who may need the run on return to action. Don't Touch It one of two in the race for owner J P McManus can take third spot.
