Glengouly completed a double in maiden and novice company over hurdles earlier this year but a bad mistake stopped him in his tracks at Punchestown in April. His former stablemate Goven won two bumpers in France and did well over timber before a poor run when odds-on at Naas in March. Winning bumper Highland Charge finished runner-up behind two smart performers over timber before completing a double when landing a Naas Grade 3. I A Connect has a similar profile and should do even better over fences while John Cannon has won a bumper here and was conceding 13lb to the runner-up when landing a Tipperary handicap hurdle in October. Limerick Lace will have benefited from her chasing bow in a strong event at Navan but, in what should be an informative contest, TELMESOMETHINGGIRL, last year's Grade 2 Dawn Run winner at Cheltenham and unluckily brought down back there in March, is taken to make a successful chasing debut.
