BARGY LADY will be at short odds here but should have little difficulty losing her maiden tag over timber. A winning bumper on heavy going, she couldn't match the Flat speed of Toe The Line at Leopardstown but that was on much quicker ground than she'll face today. Not A Whisper also won a bumper and has scored on the Flat but was behind the selection at Leopardstown and will probably find the ground against her. Play At Midnight should do better over further, a remark that also applies to recent point-to-point winner Ardean Lass.
