HAPPY MILLY has had 16 attempts to lose her maiden tag but this represents her best chance so far as she's definitely on the upgrade and produced a strong performance behind Tijuana Dancer at Clonmel last time. Ignore Minnie Wyse's run at Limerick a month ago as she was nowhere near her best. Her earlier efforts put her in the picture but a longer trip may be more suitable. Carrig Cottage landed a bumper here on New Year's Eve but has been beaten a distance in both subsequent starts. Cooper's Crest has performed quite well in bumpers but was beaten a long way in two maiden hurdles and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Steady Rolling, who looked a progressive performer before a poor effort on very heavy ground here in December.
