MOONLIGHT JAZZ is taken to build on his improved fourth at Cork last time and strike for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore combination. Leitzel has been placed on all 3 starts since switching to hurdles and should figure prominently again, while I Am Mimi has achieved enough in bumpers to think he could make his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.
