MAPLE MONS (NAP), eleven times a winner between the flags, had no chance when runner-up to the long odds-on Foxrock at Gowran last week but this won't take much winning and she can go one better. Quiet Account was well behind that winner here in December then unseated his rider when he scored again at Leopardstown though he's since scored comfortably between the flags. Hasty Times finished runner-up in this last year and was still in the lead when falling three out on his reappearance at Punchestown last month so looks a big threat. The remaining quartet look to have plenty to do.
