ELLE PERFECTA earned her right to a tilt at this pot with a win at Kilbeggan and Colm Murphy’s charge can go well today. Crebilly signed off on a winning note at Sandown last term and connections were probably biding their time before sending him over the larger obstacles. He was rated 8lb inferior over hurdles to Ginny's Destiny and the lightly raced seven-year-old will surely strip fitter for last month's run here. Railway Hurricane was ahead of the Paul Nicholls inmate on that occasion though has been on the go throughout the summer while Wonderwall has undergone wind surgery since finishing down the field in the Cesarewitch.
