MISS ME NOW made a winning start over hurdles on heavy going at Limerick in March then found 2m4f and Grade 1 company beyond her at Fairyhouse. She made a successful reappearance at Clonmel and though facing tougher opposition gets the vote though some rain would aid her cause. Monbeg Rose finished fifth in that Fairyhouse contest where she led for a long way. That would give her an outstanding chance but she's had a couple of runs over fences subsequently and may do better over further. If the race turns into a sprint then Kalopsia would be the one to benefit as she's won two bumpers and scored over hurdles at Galway in October. She gets 9lb from the selection which makes her a big danger. Side Saddle's only victory came over 2m4f on testing ground while Ayelya hasn't shown enough to merit consideration.
