Pink Coat won a C&D maiden in October and though not quite progressing as expected may have been finding the ground too testing. Kilflora has been chasing and reverts to hurdles on a lower mark but his overall form leaves him something to find. Isobella Blue completed a double last summer and will have needed her comeback effort at Wexford last month but Diyla has a long absence to overcome. SHAKE THE BUCKET won a fast ground maiden at Tramore in August and has been in superb form at Dundalk. He reverts to hurdling on what should prove a very lowly mark and gets the vote over another who has been in good form on Polytrack, Rodriguez, who looks on the upgrade.
