Winning point-to-pointer Nanna Maura has done quite well over hurdles but faces a tough task here against Rourke's Cross and SOUS LES CIEUX. The former, who landed a Limerick bumper in May, made a very promising start over hurdles when just touched off by My Murphy at Wexford and looks certain to win before long. However, Willie Mullins French import is highly regarded and though beaten by Bayross on his debut for the stable here in January is expected to have a big campaign and this should set the ball rolling.
