LEAH CLAIRE has won just once over hurdles but has generally performed with credit in strong company and gets the nod after her close third to Tennis Cap at Fairyhouse. Way Up In The Air is on the upgrade and followed her Punchestown maiden victory with a decent run at Listed level. Dul Ar An Ol and Earlson Gray are consistent though rarely win but Page Turner reverts to hurdling after running well enough over fences. Supreme Carolina couldn't handle heavy ground at Wexford after looking very progressive and today's conditions should see her in a much better light.
