Akatara has now gone 27 races over hurdles without winning but Caoimhe's Delight has won between the flags and landed a bumper so looks one to watch. Dominetta Vitali disappointed here last time after a good run at Navan but dual bumper winner Honey Bach has to go on the short-list as she has the potential to do well over timber. JEUNOPSE has mainly competed at a higher level and run well on several occasions and though she's another long time maiden with 17 runs behind her she's won on the Flat and it's time she scored over timber. Oscars Joy looked one to follow after her bumper victory and close second on her hurdling bow but she ran poorly at Gowran in September and though Tukawhile showed improved form last time she'll probably do better over further. The four-year-old Ma Belle Amie looks best of the remainder.
