Verdict
The Folkes Choice was due to run in a similar race here yesterday but whatever the outcome would find it difficult against NORAS FANCY. She won a Listed contest over timber at Limerick in March and made a highly promising start over fences at Listowel last month when third to Miradane. She was by no means given a hard time and with that experience under her belt can get off the mark over the bigger obstacles. Rising Time has shown promise in both starts over fences and showed her liking for heavy ground when scoring over hurdles at Listowel last month. It will be a surprise if she's not in the mix while Madame Mado, three times a winner over hurdles, has the experience of a run over fences behind her and looks a chaser in the making. Magical Memoir is worth noting on her chasing bow and she'll be better for her recent run after a long break.
