15/2

Latest win in mares maiden chase at Ballinrobe in September and shaped encouragingly back over hurdles after 5 months off when fourth at Kilbeggan 52 days ago. Drop back in trip will suit so needs to be taken seriously.

5/1

Front runner who responded well to a tongue strap when finally off the mark over C&D under this rider last month, but more will be needed if she's to follow up off 7 lb higher in a better race.

5/1

Fit from the Flat when recording good placed efforts at Ballinrobe and Downpatrick in May/June. Seemingly failed to get home upped to 2m back on the level last time. Remains of interest back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Run For The Border (9/4), Jupiter Du Gite (3/1), Cornmarket (4/1), You Make Me Smile (5/1), Lilac Lady (5/1), Littlebiggie (15/2), Bruant (17/2), Whiskey Serenade (11/1), In The Minus (40/1)

LITTLEBIGGIE is potentially well treated over hurdles and she could be the answer dropped to a more suitable trip after her encouraging comeback at Kilbeggan. You Make Me Smile and Jupiter Du Gite head the dangers.
