Fiveaftermidnight is well enough regarded to have run in the championship bumper at Punchestown and has done well over hurdles. She should be winning soon as should Mother's Best, who wasn't anywhere near her best on her handicap debut at Clonmel in September. Kilbarry Angel makes a quick reappearance after a very good run at Limerick on Sunday where she was staying on well over slightly shorter. Sweetlight D'oroux was beaten a long way into second on the latter track but has been finding the testing ground against her and should do better though the vote goes to CALIE DU MESNIL. Willie Mullins' import from France hasn't run for over two years and is probably destined for fences but her overall form just about gives her the edge and fitness shouldn't be a problem.
