A tricky finale but Courtin Bb is respected in receipt of weight all round. She's been in good heart the last twice when winning and then second over hurdles and is extremely lightly-raced on the level so improvement can be anticipated. Ground and trip are fine for the Duffy mare. Political Policy is probably more at home at Dundalk but YOU CAN'T CATCH ME is put up as the selection.. He, too, has been in good nick over timber, including a victory over Courtin Bb, and the booking of Colin Keane is an obvious plus. Mystique Heights was better last time and could get into the argument along with Prince Charmin' and Siempre Amigos, both of whom appear feasibly treated.
