Winning point-to-pointer Mis Clogher hasn't been jumping well over hurdles but should do better over the bigger obstacles. Lady Rocco hasn't been consistent over timber but her pedigree suggests this should be her game while recent Downpatrick hurdles winner Icee M B A has to be on the shortlist. She unseated over timber last time but had run very well on her chasing bow at Limerick earlier where she had Majestic Maid behind though the latter made a mistake at the first and took some time to get back on track. Something Sweet has now had 15 starts over fences without winning but dual hurdles winner THE SLIDING ROCK, whose last run was in a Grade 1 novices' hurdle, is potentially much better than these so gets the nod to make a successful debut over fences. Trees Valley and Twilight Girl are others to note in an interesting event.
