Another strong entry for the money with Willie Mullins saddling Bohemian Birch on her hat-trick bid. She followed a bumper victory with a debut success over timber at Tramore despite almost coming to grief at the second last. She looks a nice prospect though Paul Townend chooses stable companion FRENCH MODE, a Grade 2 winner and twice placed at Grade 1 level in France. She returned from a two-year lay-off with a run at the Galway Festival and should be spot-on for this. Brave Way's placed effort in a Down Royal Grade 3 puts her in the frame but she's been well beaten at a high level in subsequent starts but the in-form Molly Wedger isn't out of this despite racing in better company. Whosgotyanow has looked impressive in her two victories while Faith Du Val won by 14 lengths on her hurdling bow at Sligo and none of the remainder can be dismissed.
