Gunfire Reef was part of a double for Mags Mullins at Tipperary on Sunday, showing his stamina to score over fences. He reverts to hurdles on an 18lb lower mark and will be difficult to beat. Moyode Lady is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having scored on testing ground in November. She's 6lb higher and would prefer some give though should still get involved. GALAXY GIRL has yet to win in seven starts but she's been staying on strongly over shorter and this looks her trip so she can get off the mark. I'm On Snap finished just in front of her over 2m6f at Downpatrick after attempting to make all and only headed at the last but the longer trip should suit the selection more.
