Verdict
Fairytale Bliss carries a penalty for her victory at Tramore and the runner-up has been well beaten subsequently. Lady Heath gained a debut success here in January so the lack of a run since a beaten favourite at Naas in March shouldn't pose a problem. Patrick Mullins was on board when RAMBLING ROSE scored at Ballinrobe and keeps the ride. His mount travelled well throughout and normal progress can see her go in again. Shoe String gained a surprise victory at Kilbeggan but there was no fluke about that success and she should get into contention while More Info reverted to a bumper at Galway after a couple of decent runs over hurdles.
