Willie Mullins saddles the newcomer KERRY STAR here and though her pedigree is all about jumping fences she will know her job and it doesn't look the toughest of starts. Betsy Boots had been running over hurdles before reverting to a bumper at Kilbeggan where she ran well enough though looked as though she needed further than this. Dona Katharina attracted support on her debut at Roscommon but looked in need of experience so should do better as should My Friend Aoife, who may be the one to take advantage if the selection doesn't come up to scratch as she caught the eye at Limerick.
