CHAMPAYNE LADY won a Kilbeggan bumper in May and was having just her second start over timber when a close second to Play The Game over this track and trip last month. She had the remainder a long way behind and can go one better. Masons Daughter, who won a bumper at Listowel in September before a decent effort in a Listed contest at Gowran, makes her debut over timber and looks certain to go well as does Moonlight Escape, who just failed to hold Moyhenna at Punchestown after looking the likely winner for most of the way. This trio should dominate though Elzaa could get into contention if managing to complete the course.
