Verdict
Winning bumper Cash The Cheque wasn't right on her hurdling debut at Thurles and is expected to do much better. Littel Flour has come up against some smart performers though has been beaten a long way while Mary Cassatt, a winner on the Flat in France, will be better for her run at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. LOT OF JOY, a winner on the level in Sweden and a close third in the Irish Cesarewitch, has been a short-priced beaten favourite in her two runs over hurdles but has been found a winning opportunity in this moderate contest.
