Katie Walsh is the only one of these lady riders not claiming and her mount, Highly Driven, should appreciate dropping in class after running at Punchestown. Smaoineamh Alainn came up against a smart performer in Brelade at Naas and wasn't beaten far but this can go to MONASTERY. Gordon Elliott's filly didn't show much in her first two starts but it was a different matter at Galway in October when she beat all bar the short-priced favourite Jelan. Liz Doyle's Ask The Legend has improved with each run and there was plenty to like about her close fifth in a big field at Naas while Sense Of Urgency made a promising start at Cork and normal progress should see her in the shake-up.
