In depth

Verdict

Blazing West has achieved an official mark of 109 after nine starts over fences. Her second over this course and distance on testing ground in March was a good effort though she may just need this. Kilbarry Marien arrives in good form having landed a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and has a chaser's pedigree while Kilganer Queen was in cracking form over timber in the summer and ran in Listed company last time. LA BELLA VIDA attempted to make all on her chasing debut on heavy going at Clonmel and was only headed at the last. She will have come on for that experience and can go one better though Magic Of Light looks a threat. Jessica Harrington's mare beat a big field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April and will have needed her comeback at Gowran last month. She could be a decent chaser in the making but Golden Flowerpower will need to jump better than she did at Downpatrick last time.
