I'm sorry for Willie (Mullins, trainer of Apt Approach) and it's not a nice way to win. Dressedtothenines is a nice mare and seems to be back to herself. I spotted this race a while ago and if we can find something similar it would be great - she ran well at Clonmel the last day where she came up against a very good mare (Annie Power).
