Pestal And Mortar ran poorly over fences last time but her earlier run over hurdles at Limerick puts her in the frame for this. Dante Anna definitely improved when sent over 2m5f at Tramore last time but this looks between BOBBINA and Cool Annie. The former is handed the vote as she made a promising debut over timber at Down Royal behind Top Madam and though unable to match strides with Queen Of The Hill over 2m2f here today's longer trip should bring about more improvement. Cool Annie also ran over 2m2f here last time and did well to finish third behind Celtic Cailin, who runs in the second race and can provide a pointer.
