Fleurys Fort has won seven times over hurdles including twice around here though always on much quicker ground. Muyam Spirit's only success over timber came two years ago but he's gradually dropping to a winnable mark as he showed at Wexford last time. Fredastare hasn't had much racing so it was a fair effort to finish second at Clonmel though that was on good ground. Little Lady Lu has been performing over much longer trips since landing a 2m4f Kilbeggan maiden and a better run is expected though RATHNALEEN TOU was well supported when making all on her debut for new connections here last month and a 10lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up.
