This looks tough as many of these are in good form but punters look sure to get a good run from the progressive CAFFEINE CRAZE. Daniel Miley's mare is really getting the hang of things over hurdles and has improved with each run this season culminating in a fine victory on fast ground at Punchestown last time. Fearnwood Girl is another improver who landed her maiden at Sligo in a style that suggested there is more to come while the ultra-consistent Gudnis Gracious Me once again showed her liking for quick ground when accounting for Ilikeyou and tonight's rival No Stopping Sarah at Downpatrick. Queen Of Cool could provide the main threat as she was an impressive maiden winner at Killarney last time after chasing home Headford Flyer at Kilbeggan.
