ANALYSIS: Two previous winners lined up in this winners of one bumper, but it was LOST IN LAVEY, having her fifth start on the racecourse, who prevailed to get off the mark. She raced at the head of affairs until dropping back to fourth towards the end of the back straight but sent to the front again approaching the straight, kept on well, hugging the far rail, to land the spoils. A mares winners' bumper or a maiden hurdle is next for the daughter of Bob Back.

Sorrentina had shown promise first time out here when third before scoring at Fairyhouse last month, and she was well supported beforehand. The winner got first run which probably helped her cause but the runner-up plugged on down the outer under hands and heels.

Forget The Ref had won her point-to-point at Boulta in November and she showed more here without ever looking a threat when they turned for home along with Givus A Rose, who was conceding plenty of weight following her Tramore win.
