Willie Mullins continues to alternate DARE TO DOUBT between the Flat and jumps and the versatile mare won easily over hurdles at Cork ten days ago. Her confirmed fitness may just enable her to see off what should be a strong challenge from Shadow Eile as though she landed a Grade 2 over timber at Fairyhouse in April her target is the Galway Hurdle and she may just need this. Benash has reverted to the Flat in good form and ran very well behind I Have A Dream at Bellewstown while the selection's stablemate Earls Quarter, a bumper winner and twice successful over hurdles, is by no means a forlorn hope after a very good run on Polytrack at Dundalk last time.
