Already the winner of a bumper and two races over hurdles, Willie Mullins’ Bargy Lady will likely be favourite to make a winning debut over fences. She was staying on when falling over 2m7f at Galway last month, however, and this looks on the short side nowadays. We’ll take her on with DAWN SHADOW, who would have been at least her equal over the smaller obstacles. A Listed winner over 2m, she’s having a first run since May but has the class to defy the absence. Polar Present wasn’t disgraced on her chasing bow at Wexford and makes more appeal than Eimear and Indian Music.
