Bracka Lily’s victory in last year’s renewal remains her only win over hurdles so far though she’s back on a winning mark and can’t be easily ruled out. But DIME A DOZEN wasn’t disgraced in a Grade 3 contest over fences last month and the maiden hurdle winner is fancied to go close back over timber today and handicapping for the first time. Kilganer Queen won nicely at Ballinrobe recently and has won off higher marks over fences in the past while Mrs Davies is a maiden after nine starts under Rules but has joined Gordon Elliott’s yard and is worth a second glance.
