J: Darragh O’Sullivan

T: Mrs John Harrington

Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one.

9st 6lb

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Benefitted from a pace collapse when beating Terre De Vega over this trip at Leopardstown two weeks ago; raised a hefty 8lb for that but this ground suits and has run well in defeat at this track.
