GOOD THYNE TARA has a superb pedigree for jumping and was no slouch in bumpers, winning at Limerick and Cork and only going down by half-a-length in a four-runner Listed race at Navan in December. She looks the obvious one in this, though Fintara could also be a useful recruit from bumpers as she improved with experience and scored at Punchestown last month. Loose Ends got nowhere near when second at Ayr last month and Gordon Elliott also runs Pahaska, who led for a long way at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Bluegrass Princess may need this but points winner White Lilac could be interesting having her first run for Henry de Bromhead. Ballytier Princess has also won between the flags.
