Verdict

GLEBE GIRL bumped into a next-time-out winner when a back-to-form second at Clonmel 6 weeks ago and is taken to go one better now. Paul Flynn's Quarry Lil has a more solid recent record than a lot of these and is a must for the shortlist. De Bennette is only 2 lb higher than when successful last season and didn't run too badly over fences last time so is another to consider.

  1. GLEBE GIRL (IRE)
  2. QUARRY LIL (IRE)
  3. DE BENNETTE (IRE)
