Ifyoucatchmenow showed much improved form when runner-up at Gowran Park on her second start for Willie Mullins and is a strong candidate in what is a weaker race overall. She seems sure to go close but WESTERN VICTORY appeals as a viable alternative. The Bowe mare has performed with credit on all three starts under Rules since landing a point-to-point in December and delivered a pleasing effort last time when hunting up Moskovite with the rest comfortably accounted for. Betsy Boots has some respectable form to offer but has been absent since October, while Madera Express and Shirleys Gold Well look potential improvers. Tens Or Better is worth a market check as Patrick Mullins is an interesting booking for the Fahy mare.
