Verdict
CONTINGENCY, who is related to several winning sprinters and doesn't have a jumping pedigree, did very well over hurdles, making a successful debut here in 2017 and producing a superb effort when just touched off in a Grade B handicap at the Punchestown Festival last month. She'll be at short odds to make a winning start over fences and is difficult to oppose. Feeling The Love completed a hat-trick on good ground over hurdles last summer, including an easy victory over Ejayteekay, but she pulled up behind that one at Ballinrobe on Monday. Mega Mindy led for a long way when tackling 2m5f at Killarney so should be suited by dropping back in trip while Song Of The Sky would have to be the main threat if turning out as she was only beaten a short-head on her chasing debut at Wexford, though was due to run here last night.
