Res Ipsa Loquitur is generally well supported but has been finding little at the finish over further so this could prove her best trip. SHE'S A LEADER showed potential in bumpers and has progressed over hurdles with her latest start, when runner-up in a huge field at Fairyhouse, pointing to her chances though she wouldn't want any more rain. Annagh Haven has to be a threat after her fine run at Sligo where she attempted to make all and made the long odds-on Queen Alphabet pull out the stops though she was receiving 16lb from the winner. Winning point-to-pointer Mystic Lass ran her best race over timber at Cork last weekend and should have more improvement in her.
