KAITLIN'S FANCY finished runner-up in this a year ago under Derek O'Connor and looks primed to go one better from just 2lbs higher. Sean Aherne's charge has never won over regulation fences but wasn't beaten far at Listowel last time and will get a good ride from the point-to-point champion. Hot Friend is another maiden over the bigger obstacles but that should soon be put rights as he has been running well enough to put himself in contention for this and Nina Carberry's presence is a real positive. Ballygill Gale is consistent enough and his sound jumping will be a major bonus in a race where few look to have realistic chances.
