Verdict
BENEFICIAL SPIRIT won over fences here early last month before running very well behind the leniently treated Tennis Cap over the course and distance a couple of weeks later. A repeat of those efforts should see her home with her young rider's claim a major bonus. Mallowney looks a big threat as he ran a cracking race in the Boylesports at Leopardstown last month where he led into the straight and only succumbed after a bad mistake at the last. Runner-up that day was Rocky Wednesday but he was a long way behind the selection subsequently and a record of 1-20 over timber isn't inspiring. Enchanted Forest is still a maiden after 23 career starts while the useful Quietly Fancied is better over much further.
