Verdict
Super Daisy is chasing a hat-trick after wins at Navan and Limerick over this trip but faces stronger opposition in this contest. Let's Go Sunshine has already won over hurdles and fences this season for Colin Bowe but seems to reserve her best for Downpatrick, while Diyla has been put up 6lb for her defeat of 15 rivals at Ballinrobe last month. I Hear A Symphony got off the mark for new connections when teamed up with Ruby Walsh at Sligo last time but Walsh prefers PROSPERITY SQUARE here, who appeared to have plenty in the locker when beating good yardstick The Shepherd by more than five lengths over a longer trip at Clonmel four weeks ago and is probably still on an upward curve.
