Bobarlee landed a Sligo bumper last month, for which she's penalised. She was only third on her hurdling debut at Ballinrobe and Pat's Oscar, another winning bumper, also carries extra. Catcheragain has gone backwards this year while Kiera Royale looked as though she needed further than this at Tramore last time. LUCY MC ran easily her best race when attempting to make all over 2m4f at Downpatrick where she wasn't headed until the last. She's been competing over further without showing much but this looks her trip and she can take this for Gordon Elliott.
