Western Dreaming had been gradually improving before getting off the mark over 2m6f at Ballinrobe and a 5lb rise isn't excessive. Birdsandthebees had shown potential earlier this year and attracted strong support at Punchestown in May but didn't come up to scratch and tries a new trip. Wa Wa, a dual winner over fences last autumn, has raced in much stronger company over the bigger obstacles and reverts to hurdling on a 35lb lower mark but NATURAL LOOK has done very little wrong and found 2m too short at Tramore so she's taken to get off the mark.
