Agusta Gold was tremendously consistent over hurdles, placing in a Grade 3 at Limerick before finishing second in a very competitive mares’ handicap at Cheltenham. She might be the one to beat if transferring that form to the larger obstacles but THISONESFOROLLIE didn’t do much wrong over timber either last season and, as she’s already won between the flags, is just preferred on this occasion. Grey Waters has run five times over fences and been second on three occasions but she failed to fire in cheekpieces at Punchestown. Cotton Jenny looks thoroughly exposed but Mega Mindy has scope.
