MISSY TATA, unbeaten in her last five starts over hurdles including a Grade 3 on this track, hasn't been seen for two years but is still only seven and makes her long-awaited debut over fences. She'll need to be somewhere near her peak as High School Days has a fitness advantage having finished third in a Cork Grade 3 over fences last month. Meri Devie ended the last campaign with a victory in a lucrative handicap hurdle at Punchestown when trained by Willie Mullins but didn't run anywhere near as well during the summer and has changed stables. Grey Waters didn't show much on her chasing bow at Limerick last weekend but she's expected to have come on a bundle for the experience and can run into a place.
