Ger Lyons saddled the winners of this race in 2020 and 2021, and in MAUIEWOWIE he fields another very appealing candidate. She looked good when making a winning debut at Naas and subsequently lost little caste in defeat when chasing home a progressive type in this grade at the same course last month. Badb's latest effort was below par, but she will be a threat if on-song here and Treasure Trove, who was 1¼ lengths adrift of the selection at Naas, is best of the rest.
