Winning bumper Champayne Lady will be better for her run at Navan though finished behind Lackaneen Leader, who then found 2m2f too short at Limerick when beaten a long way into second by Crackerdancer. Moyhenna ran really well to finish third in that Navan contest before winning a Punchestown bumper and she's on the upgrade though a line through Crackerdancer puts REDHOTFILLYPEPPERS right in the frame for this. Willy Mullins' mare, was ridden by her owner David Dunsdon when landing a Punchestown bumper just over a year ago and he's been on board for her two runs over timber, the first when a close third behind Crackerdancer in a Navan Listed contest. Ardean Lass needs a thorough test of stamina which she had when a close second at Ayr while winning point-to-pointer Western Victory will be better for her run in a Limerick bumper. Denham Hana looks best of the remainder.
