Tom Cooper's French import Louise Royale looks a certain future winner judged on her excellent run behind the well-regarded Waver at Listowel and looks comfortably the best of those with experience over hurdles. However, she is probably unfortunate to be meeting a rival with such a big reputation as MORNING RUN. Willie Mullins' mare has looked a very smart prospect in landing her three bumper starts, the latest at Wexford in August when always travelling supremely well, and she is expected to make a successful debut over timber. Winning point-to-pointer Cloudy Rock landed a Tramore bumper in very easy fashion in April and started odds-on for her hurdling bow at Limerick the following month but didn't run as well as expected. She can do better while Liss Ui Riain has done well in bumpers and has always looked much more likely to prove herself over jumps.
