Winning bumper Teasing Georgia hasn't fulfilled expectations over hurdles and was beaten a long way when third here last month though was returning from a long break. Misty Mani completed a hat-trick on summer ground but has struggled from her raised mark while the four-year-old French Romance makes her handicap debut from 4lb out of the handicap. BELLE NA BANN completed a double in small fields on good going in the summer and is just 2lb higher than her last winning mark so could be good enough providing there's no more rain. Dime Store Cowgirl, a winner between the flags in Ireland, hasn't shown much in maiden hurdles but travels a long way for this.
