Verdict
Willie Mullins dominates the entries in this mares' Grade 1 with eight runners while Gordon Elliott has three and Henry De Bromhead a pair. The latter's Magical Zoe is now top rated after her superb run at Cheltenham where she was staying on over 2m1f, suggesting this trip will suit. She had several of these behind including third-placed Halka Du Tabert, who had earlier finished a close third behind ASHROE DIAMOND (NAP) and Jetara in a Grade 3 over 2m2f here. The winner looks the one to beat though Princess Zoe, who wasn't beaten far into fifth at Cheltenham, will be better suited by this longer trip than most.
