Drakaina won this a year ago but had arrived in good form unlike today and she's 5lb higher. MISTY MILLIE (NAP), a winner at Down Royal in May, was attempting to concede the well supported Bay Hill 11lb when beaten a couple of lengths at Listowel, when Ejayteekay was 2l behind in third, and is taken to go one better. The ultra-consistent Mysloegin has been ridden by Rachael Blackmore for her two recent victories and is another to consider. Light Of My Life was always travelling easily when landing a Roscommon maiden and could have got in lightly for her handicap debut while Red Pearl defied a last-flight blunder to land a Down Royal maiden.
