The Joseph O'Brien pair of Dark Vader and Never Before have both been running well in victory and defeat since the turn of the year and can once again give a good account in this tricky contest. They could be pipped at the post by the Jessica Harrington-trained PUNITA ARORA in the colours of Alpha Racing. The daughter of Sepoy was last seen running with credit in a Listed contest at this venue over 7f in October and can add to an earlier victory on turf in a Navan maiden in July. The reliable C&D winner The Kings Of Kells could take advantage should any of the main protagonists falter.
