ALL CLASS missed what looked a very winnable opportunity a few days ago but compensation awaits here. A winner on the Flat, over hurdles and fences in the last year, she's up a massive 22lb from her very easy victory over fences at Punchestown in November but still arrives here lower than her hurdles rating after her victory over timber here the following month. Alohamora will be conceding her 12lb with her rider's claim taken into consideration but she's in excellent form having given a subsequent winner 17lb and a beating at Catterick. That's Lifebuoy landed a novices' handicap at Gowran in very good style and must have been feeling the effects when beaten a long way at Thurles five days later. Exit To The West has been inconsistent but would have a chance at her best while Daphne Moon makes handicap debut over fences after a very good run in a novices' chase at Thurles last week.
