Verdict
NICARAGUA is penalised for her victory on the Flat but has made a bold bid to make all in her last two starts over timber and providing the ground doesn't ease should be difficult to catch. Alabama Rose was well behind her at Cork last time and her one good run in four starts over hurdles hasn't been replicated. Is She Diesel showed plenty of promise in bumpers and has changed stables since a fine debut over hurdles at Ballinrobe in August but it's Lareena who could provide the main threat. Willie Mullins' new recruit finished runner-up on her debut over timber at Enghein last April and though that wasn't much of a race she'll know what's required of her.
