This looks a good contest and it may well be that VAN HUYSEN who has been in good form around here this winter can once again pick up the winning thread especially if he gets a decent pace to run at. Final is of obvious interest if he can repeat his good reappearance run at Wolverhampton last time out with Coillte Cailin hard to leave out of the mix after her good recent showings. Vettori Rules and the up in trip Qaffaal add to the mix in what is an interesting contest. 1. Van Huysen 2. Final 3. Coillte Cailin
