Verdict
Most of those with experience have had plenty of chances and so should go to a newcomer. DAME PRESTIGE is a full sister to three winners and a half-sister to another. She's out of a mare who won on the Flat so may have more basic speed than Walk In The Brise. Willie Mullins' mare looks more of a chaser on pedigree though her yard has had a brilliant season with bumpers. Jenny Flex went for €75,000 after scoring on the Cork point-to-point track while Premier Gale is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three offspring, including two bumpers, and she gets an age allowance plus her rider's claim.
