ANNIE POWER has been found some comfortable opportunities to remain unbeaten in four starts and though meeting better class rivals here can continue her sequence before heading for Cheltenham. She jumped very well for a facile success on her hurdling debut at Thurles and Ruby Walsh will be on her for the first time. Dressedtothenines looked a very smart prospect last season, twice finishing close up in Grade 2 contests. She was unfancied on her reappearance at Leopardstown in December and ran accordingly so a much better effort is expected this time. Eyesontheprize ran very well to finish fourth in that latter contest and should be forgiven her run behind Solwhit at Naas.
