4/7

Very smart chaser who arrives on a hat-trick after victories in Listed event at Naas and Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase at Cheltenham. Scored comfortably at the Festival last time and she's very much the one to beat.

Willie Mullins' very smart mare DINOBLUE comes here on the back of a ready victory in Cheltenham Festival's Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase so is hard to oppose. Stablemate Allegorie de Vassy appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of the consistent Shecouldbeanything.
