Dual winning bumper The Grey Express was a disappointing favourite at Downpatrick last month though she's never been at home on very fast ground and should do better here. Hepahepa Naeney has some decent form to her credit but the fact that she's still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles is reason for concern. MEITHEAMH was having her first start since November when a very good third behind Shadow Eile in a better race than this at Listowel last week and, with that under her belt, she can lose her maiden tag though Our Ellie B found 3m in testing ground too much to handle last time after a very promising hurdles debut over this trip at Limerick.
