Verdict
The Elliott/Mullins bandwagon rolls on and both are strongly represented in this lucrative handicap. The lightly-raced BARGY LADY could prove best of the current champion's entries as she has been making excellent progress and was always travelling like a winner at Navan last month. This is much tougher but a starting handicap mark of 123 looks lenient. Elliott's Sire Du Berlais scored in France last May and made his debut for the yard in a Listed contest at Punchestown where he never really looked like getting to the winner though he'll have come on a bundle for the run. The yard are also strongly represented by Woods Well, a winner over 2m4f here in January and a fair second to Open Eagle over this trip at Thurles. Mon Lino won easily at Limerick on heavy going and if acting on this quicker surface would be a threat while She's A Star was biting off more than she could chew in a Grade 3 last time and this is more her class.
