A maximum field but few with realistic chances. ASK MARY, four-times a winner between the flags, is still a maiden over hurdles and fences but has gone close on several occasions and wasn't beaten far in this a year ago. Trickey Trix has won two of her last three, stays the trip and won't mind the conditions so she should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. Frankly All Talk landed a handicap chase here in December and can revert to hurdles on a 21lb lower mark than over fences but She'stherightone scored over an extended 2m1f at Ballinrobe and hasn't really proved she stays this far. Seeyouinvinnys landed a Downpatrick maiden in May last year, when Trickey Trix, who was receiving a stone, was beaten 3 lengths, but finished lame in his only subsequent start in October and hasn't run subsequently.
