This will take some getting in the conditions and the only course and distance winner Witness Of Fashion is a 15-year-old and was engaged in the 3.35 at Navan yesterday. Dubai Devils was entered for the same event but has also won around here, though over slightly shorter. He's one of the few here guaranteed to last out the trip in these conditions and would get the nod if taking part. Kristian Goingwel arrives in fine form, though his recent victories have been over 2m4f and he's yet to prove he stays this far. I'll Be That Lady started favourite at Navan after a narrow defeat at Naas but ran poorly while Robin Deuz Pois was well beaten in that latter event. ASK MARY, runner-up in a Limerick Grade 2 in March, has had her last two starts over hurdles after falling at Galway in October but looks well handicapped with her regular rider's claim a plus.
