PONT AVAL hasn't had much racing and has turned to chasing late but she matched strides with long odds-on stablemate Instit for a long way over slightly further at Fairyhouse, when Rock Of Cassie was tailed off, and can gain her first success over fences. Bay Ambition ran well in a handicap on the latter track last month and has plenty of experience but dual hurdles winner Butterflyvespiere hasn't run since September 2021. My Design has been racing at graded level over timber and makes her chasing bow and would be an obvious threat if taking to fences.
