Some of these have had enough chances but TROUBLED TIMES makes her hurdling debut after two bumper victories, the latest in a Listed contest at Gowran in September. She made a winning debut last May so the lack of a run shouldn't be a problem. Something Abouther won a Limerick bumper in November 2021 and was returning from a very long break when a good third over timber at Gowran early this month so should have come on for the run. Chautuaqua hasn't been beaten far in her last two starts and will enjoy testing conditions more than most but Can't Stop Smiling ran moderately at Thurles in October after a better run at Ballinrobe in the summer.
