The versatile Effernock Fizz will be having her 21st start of the year but wasn't beaten far behind two smart novice chasers before placed over hurdles at Kilbeggan. Heia made an impressive chasing bow at Tramore but couldn't cope in a Galway Grade 3 won by a stablemate and should find this more to her liking. My Design won over timber at Galway then ran into a potentially useful one over fences at Downpatrick. BRIDES HILL won a Listed chase at Thurles in February but failed to finish in her next two starts, the first of them at Grade 1 level. She looks certain to win races this season and can overcome an absence since April.
