ANALYSIS: CHOMBA WOMBA delivered on the promise of her third to Dasher Reilly at Galway last July to enjoy a comfortable success. Always close to the pace, she went second with half a mile to run and opened up a clear lead off the final turn. She was in full command from this point on and stayed on well under pressure in the closing stages. Trainer Margaret Mullins was slightly worried about the ground and pointed the way towards a possible crack at the mares' bumper at Aintree in April.

Lost In Lavey produced a sound effort in second. She had plenty to do when moving into second with over a furlong to run but stuck to her task well. She should be able to win a mares' bumper.

Whistling Gypse, who won a point-to-point at Castletown-Geoghegan in October, made an encouraging start to her career on the track. She began her move with half a mile to run and stayed on well in the straight. A longer trip could see her make her mark in bumpers.

Screaming Witness made her debut behind Mattock Rangerat Thurles earlier this month and improved from that to take fourth. She is another that might appreciate a longer trip.

Legal Compromise had plenty to do heading into the final three furlongs but she stayed on under pressure. This was probably below the form she showed in taking third behind Female at Navan recently.

Mistify Me held a useful lead approaching the straight but could find no more when headed by the winner.
