IRISH ROE won her first three bumpers before finding the competition too hot at Cheltenham and Aintree. But she finished more than nine lengths ahead of Polly's Pursuit on the last occasion and should confirm that form now the pair have their attentions switched to hurdles. Lerichi Belle was just beaten at Stratford last month and the winner has franked the form since. She makes more appeal than Miss Fleming and Sweet Holly, who is looking a little exposed despite only finding one too good in a Perth handicap last time.
