Winning point-to-pointer Cacheofgold ran very well when a close third to Good As Gold over hurdles at Tramore so it was a surprise to see her in a Tramore bumper a couple of weeks later. DEFINITE ELEGANCE has shown ability and is dropping back to what looks her best trip. She'll enjoy the testing conditions and is handed the vote. Ice Princess was impressive between the flags last time but this could be on the short side and though Pennys Tune is the obvious form pick there are plenty of reasons to avoid her. She has now had 19 starts over hurdles without winning and has shown great reluctance to race a few times so is best left alone. Rathmuk Native has done well in bumpers and should make a hurdler so she has to go on the short-list.
