Beth Horan was returning from a very long break when a good fourth at Limerick last month so has to be kept on the right side. Hauturiere was beaten a long way when runner-up at Tramore but will be much better suited by this longer trip. Winning point-to-pointer My Design has been going well and a strong gallop will play to her strengths while Our Miss Power, another winner between the flags, was suited by heavy ground at Limerick. SECRET SHE KEEPS won a point at Castletown in October and ran a race full of promise over this trip at Leopardstown last month so looks the one to beat.
