OUR ROXANE has been in superb form over hurdles, following a double with an even better run in a lucrative Grade B handicap in a huge field at Leopardstown. If transferring that form to fences she'll be difficult to beat. Miss Pernickety, also making her chasing debut, followed a narrow defeat in a Limerick maiden with a very moderate effort at Punchestown. Misty Millie could prove best of those with experience over fences having been in touch when falling two out on her debut at Fairyhouse before coming up against the very useful Sizing Pottsie on a return visit. Edene D'Arc, a winning bumper and hurdler, has failed to complete in two starts over fences but would have an obvious chance if getting round while Emily Moon, though behind the selection at Leopardstown, ran well in a Grade 3 at Punchestown subsequently.
