This represents a golden opportunity for MIGHTY BLUE, who was third in a mares' Grade 2 at last season's Cheltenham Festival on her latest start in this sphere. The 6-y-o was a listed winner on the Flat since and she should prove too good for these rivals. French bumper winner Goven went close in a 19-runner Punchestown maiden last month and is feared most head of point winner A Fortune Out West.
