Missy Tata finished a close fourth in the 2016 Fred Winter at Cheltenham than won her next five starts the same year, including Grade 3 and Listed contests. She makes her chasing debut here but Gordon Elliott will have her ready. MOYHENNA couldn't cope with Pravalaguna at Limerick but that was still a fine effort as the winner has since won a Listed contest in a canter. Denis Hogan's mare had Grey Waters behind that day and the latter has been well beaten in subsequent starts despite finishing second. Dual Flat and hurdles winner Rolanna makes her chasing bow and looks best of the remainder.
