A big field here but few with realistic chances and RELEGATE will be at short odds to recoup losses sustained on her hurdling debut over 2m6f at Punchestown. Her jumping was novicey and, though impeded after the last and promoted to second, it was a disappointing debut for the Cheltenham Champion Bumper winner, especially as the pair also involved in the finish have been well beaten subsequently. Barrington Court makes her debut over timber after a very convincing victory in a Listed bumper at Navan where Caravation, who was conceding 7lb following her bumper victory on this track, was 13 lengths back in third. Duchess Ravenwaves has won easily on the Flat since finishing runner-up in a Listowel maiden hurdle and any further rain would be in her favour while Rare Deal was unlucky on her point-to-point debut before making amends at Dromahane.
