Winning hurdler GELEE BLANCHE is only five and had made little impression in her two starts over fences before a much better run at Tramore and can get off the mark. Bold Emperor weakened quickly in that Tramore contest while That’s Lifebuoy is a staying type who scored over 2m6f over hurdles and has been narrowly beaten at around that trip in her two starts over the bigger obstacles so could find this on the short side. Wa Wa is definitely progressing and was only headed close home over 2m7f at Ballinrobe where he led at this trip.
