Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler BRAVE WAY started odds-on for her chasing debut at Thurles but made too many mistakes. She's had plenty of time for schooling and looks the one to beat. Duchess Ravenwaves finished runner-up on testing ground at Gowran and Clonmel but was beaten when taking a crashing fall at Wexford last month. Winning bumper and hurdler Malina Girl makes her chasing debut as does Cute Cherry, a winner over timber at Leopardstown in November. Raven Rule has fallen in two of her last three over hurdles.
