Mighty Blue won this easily last year from Lismore with Yaxeni a close third and Barrington Court well beaten in fifth. The winner was very disappointing subsequently and has been hurdling while the latter was only sixth on her reappearance at Cork when ANNERVILLE surpassed her previous form in second. Pita Pinta, Powerful Aggie and Federica Sophia were also behind in that latter event and the runner-up, who was having only her fourth start, can confirm the form and take this.
