Denis Hogan's yard has been going through a quiet spell but DEDOCTORSDAUGHTER can put matters right. She's much better handicapped over hurdles and returned to form over the smaller obstacles at Kilbeggan but is just 4lb higher than her victory over fences there in September. Protaras looked on the way back to form when staying on over slightly shorter at Down Royal and should get into the mix while Kashline has proved himself useful at this sort of level and will have needed his run at Punchestown last month, his first since January.
