I thought this would be a slow burner and vowed to leave it for a while,but i stumbled in to find it almost done and dusted.Very impressive answers from Thegalwayman,living up to his name all answers correct so only a few add ons needed.Your question about which gate has been answered by The Icchantika who correctly named Rita Ann Higgins who is indeed from Ballybrit.The Paddy Sleator trained Royal Day was the other dual Plate winner,Dermot Weld was 15 when he first won on Ticonderoga an event i witnessed as a 17 year old.Bamapour was Chanelle Burkes bumper winner and Q10 which could have been contentious finds us all in agreement.
