Bynx didn't win on the Flat but looks like being a better hurdler judged on her narrow defeat on heavy ground at Gowran where she was only caught close home. Ghumama attempted to make all that day but made mistakes and was soon beaten though she'll have come on for the experience. IGRAINE ran very well when placed at Punchestown in a race that has worked out well and was expected to do better at Fairyhouse where she weakened quickly from the last. That was probably due to heavy going and today's conditions can see her off the mark. Only Sky was better than these on the Flat and, though she's been a bit disappointing to date over timber, she has the potential to do better. Chica Power won a minor handicap at Dundalk last month and makes her hurdling debut.
