Lion's Choice won a maiden point-to-point at Tyrella in March and is the only one of these with any experience. SNAG LIST is likely to start a short-priced favourite given her connections and she has the pedigree to match being a sister to two winning bumpers and out of a winner on the Flat so can make a successful debut, though she could be facing a potentially useful rival here in Faraway Mountain, a half-brother to five Flat winners and out of a mare who won over 1m3f. An Irish Airman and Wiiphania are both worth a second look with the latter in particular bred for the job being out of a mare who won on the Flat and over hurdles.
