WHIMSY is a likeable sort who again ran well on the back of a short break when third at Fairyhouse recently and she's fancied to deservedly open her account in this sphere. Adela Icon was too free on debut for Willie Mullins at Cork but she will be a threat if settling better with a hood added now switched to hurdles. Quantum Leap, twice a winner on the Flat, is also shortlisted on his first start over obstacles.
