This looks slightly more competitive than the opening division. Shark Hanlon's horses are in good form and Ashton Court was only just run out of it by ZINAT over an extended 2m at Clonmel. He'll be 3lb better off here but Liam Quinlan looked to have a bit up his sleeve on the winner who can double her winning tally over hurdles. Paula's Prayer ran her best race to date when stepped up to 2m3f at Downpatrick so the drop in trip doesn't look in her favour. She had Majority Share 13 lengths back in fifth that day but the latter led to the last and must have a chance of reversing the form over this shorter trip.
