CATHYS QUEST had been improving steadily over hurdles before landing a Kilbeggan handicap by 15 lengths. She'll be 9lb higher for her debut over fences but looks progressive enough to shrug off the extra. Shantou Sisu also arrives in winning form having won by the same margin at Sligo though was left in front when the leader fell. Movie King has been well beaten in both starts over fences though has been running well over hurdles but dual hurdles winner Steps Match is 0-10 over the bigger obstacles.
