CALICO has shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach, again finding only one too good in a big-field event here 16 days ago, and she earns the vote to deservedly come out on top. Useful Flat performer Almuhit shaped well on his yard/hurdles bow at Leopardstown over Christmas and is feared, along with Mighty Mo Missouri and Luminous Light.
