A very competitive finale with the vote going to last year's winner THEATRE WORLD, who also won a few weeks earlier on the track and has been chasing. Eimear is up a massive 17lb for her victory at Clonmel last month but the maiden Handsworth showed major improvement at Wexford and can get involved. Walk Me Home can continue her progress from this sort of mark while Se Mo Laoch would have a chance on last year's form though has a long absence to overcome. Presenting Meghan makes her handicap debut and needs to find some improvement but King Alex made all for an impressive victory at Ballinrobe and looks a threat to all.
