FormscanBy Alan Magee - MISSIEE gets the vote to repeat her success in this race last year. The Eoin McCarthy-trained mare has gained all four career wins on testing ground and the form of her fourth to Buddy One at Galway in October has worked out well since. Sarah Beara may have been slightly flattered by her third to Search For Glory in a Grade 3 at Cork last time but the handicapper has been lenient in raising her by just 4lb, while Me Wee Bonnie Lass and Ms Agartha Yeats are two lightly raced contenders with plenty of scope for improvement. The former followed up a debut win at Downpatrick with an impressive Gowran victory but has been raised 12lb while Ms Agartha Yeats is also proven on heavy ground and beat all bar Dorking Cork over 2m6f at Navan last month.
