Ante post favourite Skywalker Cilla finds herself against the Cat One bitches, Jaguar Macie, Coolavanny Aunty and Ballymac Trend.

Seal said: “I thought Cilla was flawless in the first round. A 3.50 split and then just five spots off the clock. That’s remembering that all the Irish runners have been on the ferry overnight. It takes a special temperament and skilful training to overcome those obstacles. Magical Firebird is another who really impressed me.”
