Verdict
Willie Mullins has won the last three of these and Pravalaguna will have benefited from her chasing debut in May, especially over this more suitable trip. Polar Present has already had eight starts over fences and fallen a couple of times so she looks well exposed but GREY WATERS (NAP) has the scope to make a decent chaser. Placed in a Grade 1 here in February, she couldn't cope with the classy Espoir D'Allen on her reappearance in a Grade 3 at Naas but gets an age allowance here which can help her make a successful chasing bow. Bumper and hurdles winner Moyhenna made her chasing debut in a Grade 3 at Naas where she bumped into a very promising type in Camelia De Cotte. She produced a very good effort that day and it will be a surprise if she's not in contention. Minnies Secret didn't run badly in a Fairyhouse handicap last time but will need to find more.
