Rory Anna pulled up on her hurdling debut but has won twice since though beating two rivals at Limerick last time isn't the same as carrying a big weight in a tough handicap such as this. Kylebeg Krystle had been chasing before reverting to hurdles on a very fair mark and beating today's rival Ring Street Roller at Cork. A 6lb rise makes this more difficult while another who has been chasing, Cool Quest, has won just once over timber in 14 starts. Special Token beat Second Glance a neck at Cork last April but the runner-up should take her revenge on these terms. COSCORRIG ran very well behind Turner Brown, who has won again subsequently, at Punchestown and in an open contest Dessie Hughes' mare gets the vote.
