Verdict

CAUTIOUS APPROACH has won five times on the Flat and has changed stables. There's nothing in her pedigree to suggest she'll do well over hurdles but this is a very poor contest and she can make a successful start. Could Be Trouble wasn't beaten far at Punchestown earlier this month but that was over 2m6f and she takes a big drop in trip. Winning point-to-pointer Mis Clogher made a promising start over hurdles at Fairyhouse but didn't improve in her next run at Leopardstown while Notalossla is likely to need further than this.
