Plenty of recent winners stepping up in class and the vote going to REDHOTFILLYPEPPERS. She landed the odds at Punchestown on her debut under Rules and is preferred to stablemate Miss Sapphire, who made a winning start at Limerick. Gordon Elliott also runs two with Naas winner Fayonagh less exposed than Monastery, who was beaten over hurdles last time. One First Cut scored at Thurles on her introduction and The Birdie Crowe beat a subsequent bumper winner when scoring at Galway. Sassy Diva and Classic Theatre were both placed on their latest starts and are not out of this either.
