Verdict
A potentially-informative mares’ bumper to end proceedings. Dreamingandhoping has already placed in decent company at Navan and Limerick and shouldn’t be far away again. Beth Horan is another to have shown ability and Annie Kate and Nell's Well are likely improvers. Dysart Diamond was fourth at Limerick on debut but Patrick Mullins rides stablemate KILLULTAGH BELLA. The latter is a half-sister to a winning hurdler and bred to be useful so gets the nod.
