Verdict

The Roger McGrath-trained, SOMETHING SWEET was still in touch and travelling well when coming down two out at Tipperary last month. If the daughter of Mahler is in the same kind of form she can get off the mark at the 16th attempt over hurdles. The seven-year-old will have many challengers in the shape of Wexford runner-up, Trans Wood and the Denis Hogan-trained, Tipperary third, Al Sakb. Winner at Ayr in October, Callthebarman and Abraham look capable of challenging the main protagonists.
  1. Something Sweet
  2. Trans Wood
  3. Al Sakb
