Only three have any chance in this according to the form book. The Getaway Star won a couple of bumpers and has shown promise in each of her three runs over hurdles. She is unlikely to be far away but LADY BREFFNI is preferred given she was returning from an absence when an excellent fourth in a Grade B handicap over 3m at Navan last month. Humble Glory easily won a bumper here on New Year’s Eve and looks to have a bright future over hurdles on that evidence, though may just get caught out by a lack of experience today.
