D K Travel ran his best race to date in a Cork handicap last month though the booking of Kevin Manning for stable companion Ahundrednotout catches the eye. Sheila Lavery has her horses in good form so the fact that Empress Lyla is returning from a long absence may not be a problem. She was narrowly beaten by today's rival What About Bob at Gowran in October and there's little between them here. Little Miss Willow scored at Dundalk in November and was up with the pace for a long way on her return to action at Cork so she can go well. Olly's Folly has changed stables and ran well enough for new connections at Dundalk though in a very tricky race to sum up the vote goes to BORDER PRINCE, who had shown virtually nothing before a fine run in a Dundalk handicap where he almost made all.
