Verdict

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.

  1. MALINA GIRL (IRE)
