Verdict
A very nice turnout for this excellent prize won last year by Tracey Collins' Girouette. Lough Mist is her representative this time but she faces a huge task while the UK raiders Prescription and Swiss Diva , though respected, are well exposed and it's three-year-olds who have the best record in the race. BEWITCHED is improving at a rate of knots despite her two recent defeats. She landed a C&D handicap from a mark of 85 in May then followed up in a Listed contest at Haydock. Her two recent runs have been over 5f and 7f and this appears to be her trip. After making all over 7f here, Kitty Kiernan ran no sort of race over the same trip in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse. That wan't her true running and she will be a major threat if bouncing back. Invincible Ash is in cracking form but she doesn't appear suited by give in the ground.
