A few of these are rated higher over hurdles than the majority of the field. COLLA PIER is one of that group and may finally get her head in front over fences having finished third at Perth last time. Billy's Hope never recovered from a bad blunder at Ballinrobe on her chasing bow while Plain Talking failed to land a blow at Roscommon on her first start over fences. Kalopsia was third at Tramore last time having fallen earlier while At Rainbow's End went close at Kilbeggan in April. Theatre Wine is preferred to stablemate Strike Is Back of the remainder.
