Willie Mullins introduced a very smart young chaser in Valseur Lido at Punchestown last week and VROUM VROUM MAG could be from the same mould. A winner bumper and hurdler in France, she's out of a winning chaser so is bred for this game and is likely to take some beating. Down Ace is a very good yardstick as she won five races in the UK for Fergal O'Brien. She started odds-on for her chasing debut at Thurles last month but didn't jump well enough and was beaten by Dazzling Susie. Better is expected while Emily Grey is an interesting debutant over the bigger obstacles having won three times over timber and been placed at Listed level. Beach Of Falesa has a stout pedigree which may been seen to better effect over fences. She easily landed a maiden hurdle here in the summer and could run into a place.
