RUAILLE BUAILLE produced a lesser effort in a Punchestown handicap last time but this is nowhere near as competitive and looks something of a formality for her if she's back on her game. If the selection underperforms again, The Getaway Star is the likeliest to capitalise, although Felicidad isn't out of it.
