Verdict
MIGHTY MEGGSIE couldn't get close to Weseekhimhere at Galway but the winner looks useful so she can go one better. No Reaction stayed on when getting the hang of the job at Cork while Hidden Harmony pulled too hard at Ballinrobe but kept on and will improve as will Monas Melody, who caught the eye in the latter race under Derek O'Connor. There are several newcomers to note including Fethard Glory, Jesina and Gelee Blanche. The latter, a half-sister to two winning jumpers in France, is an obvious threat given her connections.
