Verdict

A few in with a squeak but CRUMB OF COMFORT shaped with plenty of promise when third at Fairyhouse on debut 4 weeks ago. and with this step up in trip sure to be in her favour, she's fancied to get off the mark. Nine Graces made an encouraging debut in this sphere on New Year's Day so she could be the one to chase the selection home, with Law Ella and Jumping Jet another couple worth considering.

  1. CRUMB OF COMFORT (IRE)
  2. NINE GRACES
  3. LAW ELLA (IRE)
