Verdict

Possibly best to narrow this down this listed bumper down to once-raced winners LIGHT UP THE DARK, Carrigmoorna Beech and Oneinthewell. J P McManus has purchased the first-named since her Naas defeat of the reopposing Scarriff Bridge and she can make it 2-2.

  1. LIGHT UP THE DARK
  2. CARRIGMOORNA BEECH (IRE)
  3. ONEINTHEWELL (IRE)
