Annie May has been in good form over fences here of late and can race off a lower mark back over timber, while Brave Beauty has shown a big improvement recently with a win at Downpatrick to her credit. Sugar Bullet won her maiden over these hurdles last month but another recent maiden winner in TABLE FORTY SIX makes more appeal. Back on her favoured fast ground, she ran out an impressive winner at Down Royal last week and can follow up under similar underfoot conditions. Moi Desire has the past form to figure but is out of sorts and Rathganley Maiden is easily dismissed.
