Light Heidi has switched to Noel Kelly’s yard since winning at Limerick in April but her new stablemate BINTHEREDONETHAT isn’t badly treated here if his latest run at Downpatrick, which was probably needed, is ignored. Twilight Girl is undoubtedly better over fences but can’t be ignored. French import Liloo D'ores has also been racing over the larger obstacles so Catchmeifyoucan may be best of the rest.
