MOYHENNA has won twice around here though not over fences and she was having problems with her jumping before a spectacular victory on heavy ground at Limerick. With the going likely to turn testing again she can take advantage and score again. Simple Steps bounced back to form at Limerick and she handles any conditions so should go well from the bottom of the handicap while the five-year-old Grey Waters will surely be losing her maiden tag over fences soon and makes her handicap debut. Her stable also runs Slowmotion, who has been running in better company and looks the type for this while Mill Quest beat a decent field at Fairyhouse though a 9lb rise makes things more difficult. Barra has only had two runs over fences and faces a stiff test but Warren Greatrex' Carnspindle is on a fair mark and should give a good account of herself.
