MYSTIC THEATRE makes her long awaited debut over timber and could be an exciting prospect. A dual point-to-point and bumper winner, she's a full-sister to the useful hurdler Morello Royale so should have no problems with the obstacles. Nellie Pledge, a winner between the flags, had the misfortune to be brought down at the first on her hurdling bow at Sligo but Gracemount will ensure the selection doesn't have things her own way. She was only beaten three lengths by her in a Fairyhouse bumper in January and has done very well over hurdles so she'll test the likely favourite's jumping technique. Isn't She Lovely is likely to need much further but Dorkas could snatch a place after returning to hurdles with a good run at Roscommon.
