A Little Swifter is a winning point-to-pointer and will be suited by this trip after staying on over 2m at Tramore when Black Empress was well behind on her hurdling debut. Plenty of these have won between the flags and the best of them could be Lisrose, a dual winner who has also run well in a Wexford bumper. MEITHEAMH ran a shocker when fancied at Fairyhouse last time but would have a chance second to none on her previous run behind The Grey Express at Navan and hopefully can return to her best for this. Nanna Maura looked a real staying type when runner-up over 2m7f at Downpatrick and she should be in the firing-line but Taraval appeared to enjoy the better ground at Fairyhouse last time and conditions could prove too testing.
