A big field of beginners over fences but VALYSSA MONTERG is likely to start a short price to make a successful debut. Willie Mullins' mare is rated 138 over hurdles after three victories, including at last year's Galway Festival, and she should know her job well enough to make the transition. Missyspet has run six times over fences and failed to get round in three of them including when unseating her rider at the last when in front at Fairyhouse. She deserves a change of fortune and should win soon while Miss Speedy has produced two decent runs at big prices at Gowran and Fairyhouse. Back Before Dawn is another making her chasing debut and can get involved while Annamatopoeia has been racing in much better company though showing little.
