In depth
Verdict
SILVER SALLY finished closer when third at Galway last time with Think Of Me well beaten. She may come out best in this with further improvement. Degenerous, Star Lily and Carrigeen Kigelia have all won bumpers but have yet to figure over hurdles though Myblueeyedgirl ran well at Ballinrobe last year. Lizzies Way posted a better effort in a bumper last time and may also figure.
