FEYAN beat By My Dream, who runs in the previous division, by 18 lengths over fences at Punchestown and was raised 13lb so not surprisingly reverts to hurdles on a 10lb lower mark. Misslee had shown nothing until her second start in a handicap over hurdles at Tramore and a 5lb rise is by no means excessive. Da Big Fella goes well fresh as he showed at Killarney in August. He’s had a break since a very good run here in November. Queensteel’s victory at Tipperary in June was gained on heavy ground over 3m so this could be a bit short but Golden Glen bounced back to form at Tramore and still looks on a fair mark.
