LA SORELITA is 1-13 over timber but mainly ran in tough handicaps. She has a pedigree suggesting she'll do better over fences and can make a successful start. Gordon Elliott has two entries with Graceland, three-times a winner for Donald McCain over hurdles last summer and a recent close third on the Flat for her new handler, likely to prove the pick. Shark Hanlon has been amongst the winners lately and Dime A Dozen, never out of the money in seven starts in bumpers and over timber, looks a nice prospect for the bigger obstacles but Lily Trotter had to wait until her 22nd run to lose her maiden tag over hurdles at Cork in November. Waitnsee won a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe by 24 lengths and the softer the ground the better.
