DAYLIGHT KATIE, a winning point-to-pointer, has been narrowly beaten in both bumper starts under her owner/rider and appears certain to get into contention again so looks the logical choice. Miss Cedille was only beaten a length into fourth at Limerick though lacks the scope of a few of these and may not be up to confirming latest form with Etincelle Lioterie, who was only just behind on her return from a long break. Golden Glory was obviously thought capable of better than she showed at Punchestown on New Year's Eve as she was well supported but she'll need to do much better to get involved here.
