INDIE BELLE (NAP) was challenging when the leader fell at the last at Punchestown and would probably have won anyway. She'd been steadily progressing before then and a 6lb rise looks manageable. Cute Cherry, a winner at Clonmel on heavy going in October, looked on the way back to form at Punchestown in January while Paddy Wickla has been consistent since scoring at Clonmel in September though is 13lb higher. Cool Rain has yet to win or indicate she stays this far but Greenhill Damsel found 3m too far at Punchestown after a convincing victory at Fairyhouse.
