What has become a traditionally strong Irish challenge at the track is in evidence once again and Gordon Elliott's NOTTODAYBOBO is respected, whilst the solid Beauty To Behold looks the mainstay of the home defence. John McConnell's Happywifehappylife proved competitive on her last two starts over timber but this is her first start since New Year's Day and I Love My Baie, a bumper winner at this venue over a year ago, could prove more dangerous on hurdling debut.
