Brosna George, who has never won, tackles this trip for the first time though he won't mind the testing conditions. FOURINA (NAP) had given notice of better to come with a good run at Clonmel before a battling victory at Tramore. That was over 2m5f on heavy going and with this trip looking certain to suit, Mark Fahey's mare looks the one to beat. Running In Heels was chasing the last time she ran in the UK at the end of last year. She'd earlier won over hurdles at Market Rasen though that was on good going. Crown Of Thorns looks to have a lot of weight for what he's shown so far.
