Verdict

This may come down to a couple of C&D winners with the time off the track possibly putting paid to the chances of the Ado McGuinness-trained, Pillar as the Rock Of Gibraltar gelding may have to give way to the winner of this contest 12 months ago, SWEETEST TABOO. The Willie McCreery-trained eight-year-old won on her most recent start at Tipperary last month and can get the better of the likes of Ty Rock Brandy, Wild Bob Cat and the Denis Hogan-trained, Gopsies Daughter.
  1. Sweetest Taboo
