The conditions of this race mean that Wexford bumper winner Chiltern Hills is giving 8lb to her rivals. She has been a beaten favourite in both starts over hurdles so far and may be vulnerable again here. BOBBINA showed ability when third on her racecourse debut in a novice event at Down Royal and followed that up with a good run here in a bumper. Brian Hamilton's mare looks the one to beat as she has a lot more scope than Cool Annie and Pestal And Mortar. Dante Anna may be improving, however, while Nuggets Of Wisdom was beaten less than two lengths behind Uponthe Roof over 3m at Bellewstown and makes more appeal than Gale Force Lucey and Persian Hill.
