BOBARLEE is making hard work of losing her maiden tag but Willie Mullins’ mare should be in the mix once again as she returns from a lay-off. Her second at Punchestown in October looks better form in hindsight as she finished three lengths behind subsequent Grade 1 winning hurdler Don’t Touch It. Dynaminx has placed the last twice now without threatening the winner but is another likely to figure while Trumps Ace and Secret Approach should finish closer with recent debut efforts under their belts.
