Verdict
Lady Of The Vale carries a penalty for her bumper victory at Clonmel but she'll be better for her opening hurdles run on this track when behind third-placed Pachmena. The latter had run well on the Flat during the summer without winning and looks a threat to MOLLYS GLORY, who won a heavy-ground bumper here last year before narrowly beaten in a Listed bumper at Fairyhouse. She was placed at that level over hurdles here in December and is the form pick despite not running since January. Purse Price won between the flags in Yorkshire in February and joined Gordon Elliott but never showed on her hurdles bow at Fairyhouse and pulled up after a bad mistake.
