FormscanBy Gary Carson - SUGAR COOKIE has to defy a lengthy absence but that wouldn't be a major worry coming from the Willie Mullins yard. The French-bred filly makes her first start for the champion trainer having chased home a smart sort in the Mullins-trained Arctic Fly on her debut in this same race two years ago. Champagne Venture was no match for stunning winner Aqua Force at Gowran last time but it was still a solid effort to fill the runner-up spot and she should be thereabouts again here having been placed in her last two. Jem's Lilly ran well on her debut, when second at Punchestown, and is another for the shortlist.
