HE KNOWS MY NAME has raced three times over regulation fences and was beaten only a length on her latest attempt when runner-up at Downpatrick - she may prove good enough. Longhouse Music has yet to place in seven attempts under Rules but has won three of her last four in point-to-points while Turndownthevolume and Cloudy Day have also been in good form between the flags, though debut over fences. Be My Dream is the least exposed and represents last year’s winning trainer/jockey combination.
