Regina Dracones has won three of her last four and overcame a bad mistakes to land a novices' chase at Fairyhouse. She's greatly respected but CALL THE TUNE (NAP) may have her measure on these terms. Barry Connell's charge has been gradually improving and was always travelling like a winner over the track and trip last month. Ballyshannon Rose is a worthy top weight having won two of her four starts over fences and finished runner-up when conceding 7lb to the winner in a Grade B handicap at Naas. Fairyhouse winner Now Where Or When is at the right end of the weights to make his handicap debut over fences but Wa Wa suffered in the ratings after completing a double in the autumn. History Of Fashion was an impressive winner at Down Royal but didn't get far in the Eider Chase at Newcastle.
