Verdict

The vote goes to MISTY'S GIFT, who is 0-10 in this sphere but she was clear of the rest when chasing home the progressive An Mhi (successful twice again since) at Ballinrobe last time. A reproduction of that effort would probably be enough to see her home in front here. High City Roller went close starting out for this yard over 2½m here and, with this step up in trip a likely plus, he is the clear main danger. Bumper winner Kinbara is third choice ahead of Lily's Choice.

  1. MISTY'S GIFT (IRE)

  3. KINBARA (IRE)
