Verdict

Competitive fare with the vote in favour of WHISKEY LULLABY. Well served by the emphasis on stamina when doubling her tally over fences at Fairyhouse 24 days ago, a 3 lb higher mark looks within reach returned to timber and another good showing looks likely. Optional Mix may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Meetingofthewaters and Asluckwouldhaveit.
