Malina Girl (9/4), Ballycashin (9/2), Lovely Reaction (6/1), Pipers Boreen (7/1), Circus Act (9/1), Doyenna (10/1), Bestaline (12/1), Blossom De Mai (18/1), Magic Conqueror (18/1), Champella (22/1), Optional Mix (28/1), Game And Glory (33/1), Bella Bliss (40/1)

MALINA GIRL might have needed her first outing for 6 months when only mid-division over hurdles at Punchestown back in October and is given another chance off what could be a lenient mark in this sphere judged on her smart chase form. Bestaline has been third in her last 3 handicaps and should figure again, while Doyenna is an interesting runner after catching the eye here last time.
