CIAO showed improved form when finishing runner-up on her most recent start and she can go one better by taking the opening race on the card. Miss Cognac, a bumper winner in the spring represents a good yard and she can take second on her jumps debut while third place can go to Soviet Pimpernel, a bumper winner at Listowel last time out.
