With a decision about Vroum Vroum Mag's participation here likely to be made late on it may prove to be the 2016 winners stablemate LIMINI who gives her leading trainer a ninth successive victory in this contest. The selection had today's main rival Apple's Jade behind her at Punchestown last time out and ran out the comfortable winner of the mares' novice event at this track last year. Of the remainder, Grade 1 winner Jer's Girl , who impressed as a novice when winning a Grade 1 2m4f contest at Fairyhouse 12 months ago, is another to consider with the best of the British contenders taken to be Lifeboat Mona who comes here seeking a four-timer.
