A huge field but only a handful make any serious appeal, COURT COMPLIANCE selected to go one better than at Punchestown last month with improvement on the cards. Miss Doyenne won a Cork bumper on her only start under Rules last season so she's interesting now hurdling for leading connections, with Dippedinmoonlight and Sept Etoiles another couple worth considering, too.
