Verdict

Emily Sinico hasn't run since the summer of 2015 when she turned a Listowel maiden into a procession. This is her handicap debut and the long absence may count against her. MILL QUEST completed a double last summer and has continued to run well. She's 7lb higher than her last victory but only just failed to add to her tally at Punchestown and can return to winning ways. Cahirconree has yet to win over hurdles or fences but has gone very close on a couple of occasions though appeared to do better when dropped back to the minimum trip at Naas last time when caught right on the line by today's rival Dylrow, who disappointed on a return visit. The lightly-raced There You Go was the only one to keep up with the in-form Camlann at Down Royal in January and, with further progress likely, could provide the main threat.
