Nodelay is in top form and followed her maiden success over this C&D with a comfortable victory over the useful Flat performer Boynagh Joy at Down Royal on Friday but a 6lb penalty may just anchor her here. Mountain Heather looked suited to 2m5f when leading at the last and scoring at Tramore so this may prove too sharp and it's ISOBELLA BLUE who looks the one to be on. Tom Foley's mare is improving fast and won easily from subsequent winner Adropaupep at Wexford before an unlucky defeat at Roscommon where she was repeatedly impeded. Cinderella Story disappointed at Kilbeggan after her maiden success at Ballinrobe while Lea Lady appears best over further.
