A chance is taken on GREY WILLOW, who won over 1m1f at this fixture a year ago and though she hasn't won subsequently she hasn't had the testing ground she needs. She was around 7l behind Greenpanda at Roscommon last time but today's conditions are much more in her favour and she can reverse the form with the winner. Queen Iseult is still a maiden but she won't mind the conditions and has no problems with the trip so she has to be on the shortlist. Baby Pink is another lightly-raced maiden who steps up to the trip for the first time while Maze Runner represents Willie Mullins though will need to do better than when a beaten favourite at Tramore. Five-times winner New Direction and Tramore maiden winner Acrux Cass are others to note in a tricky handicap.
