Patty D had some experience over timber last winter and landed a Limerick bumper in very good style earlier this month and her rider's claim puts her right in the picture. Pont Aval had some smart form in bumpers in 2018/19 and the lack of a recent run won't be a problem for Willie Mullins' mare. ATLANTIC FAIRY has only had three runs and found 2m too short when runner-up in a big field at Cork. She'll improve for the step-up in trip and can take this under Rachael Blackmore. Kilbree Warrior, a very impressive winner between the flags in February, ran well for a long way in a strong Navan maiden last month and will have come on a bundle for the run.
