Willie Mullins wouldn't be entering a four-year-old filly over fences on testing ground unless he had plenty of confidence in her and GITANE DU BERLAIS (NAP) fits the bill here. She's won three times over hurdles, including at Grade 3 level, and her allowances should enable her to make a winning start over the bigger obstacles. Killtilane Rose is still a maiden after 32 starts including 13 over fences though she did run better behind Black Zero at Thurles and the winner completed a quick double at Limerick on Friday. Hell Cat Maggie completed a hat-trick over hurdles on quick ground in the summer and makes her chasing debut in much more testing conditions while Feenakilmeedy will need to get her jumping act together though there's no doubt she has the potential to do much better than she's shown to date.
