ANDALUSA needs to improve her jumping but if she can looks to have an excellent chance of gaining her first chase success for Willie Mullins on only her second start. The mare took a while to get the hang of hurdles. Finally winning on her penultimate racecourse appearance in a novice hurdle at Clonmel. She was a beaten favourite on her chase debut but should be wiser here and looks to have an excellent chance. Shamad had been running well over hurdles earlier this summer and raced with enthusiasm on his chase debut recently at Tipperaray. He should be capable of improvement. Ballyegan Hero can put his experience to good use and challenge for minor honours.
