ANNIE POWER, who beat Jennies Jewel easily in this last year after a gallant defeat in the World Hurdle, was cruising along in the lead when taking a crashing fall in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham. She looks in a different league to these and providing she's none the worse for the mishap this looks a formality. Katie T would be the logical alternative if the favourite comes up short. She's very much on an upward curve and added a victory on the Flat at Limerick last month to her superb success in a top handicap at Leopardstown in January. Rock On The Moor and Analifet fought out the finish of a mares' race over slightly further here in February and there looks very little between them again.
