I'mstillyourbaby only showed moderate form over hurdles and in bumpers but was well supported in a Limerick handicap last month. He makes his chasing bow as does Iknowwhereiamnow, a winner over timber at Gowran in November but pulled up at Leopardstown next time. CHEROKEE BILL has had nine starts over fences and has only shown the occasional sign of ability but this is a poor contest and though vulnerable looks the one to beat. Moyode Lady won a handicap hurdle at Limerick in November but was then beaten a long way when well supported at Tramore while Major Fawcett has never really looked like winning in 15 starts under Rules.
