Verdict
A Girl Like Me was having only her fifth start over timber when creating a 50/1 shock at Galway where she stayed on strongly over slightly shorter. She's up 9lb but is still lower than her chase mark. MYSTIC EMBARR dropped back to 2m3f at Fairyhouse and scored with plenty in hand. He has no problems with the longer trip and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. Runner-up Oneknightmoreihope would have a chance of reversing the form on the revised terms while Lisavalley Lass has improved since stepping up to this sort of trip. Rubiana scored over fences at Downpatrick last month and can revert to hurdles on an 11lb lower mark so looks a threat along with Betterask JJ, who was racing on heavy ground for the first time when narrowly beaten at Limerick.
