In depth
Verdict
Elm Grove, six times a winner on the Flat including around here, hasn't run since October and has only had three starts over hurdles. She's likely to be winning before long but Reine Fee ran so well when just unable to catch Goaheadmakemyday at Down Royal that she will be difficult to beat. However, PRINCESS MAHLER has the overall form for this and gets the vote. A winner on heavy going at Limerick last March, she may have won back there in December but for falling and her latest run at Punchestown should be ignored as she was coughing post-race. Claregate Street found 2m3f stretching her stamina here a fortnight ago and had done better over this trip on an earlier visit.
