Richie Harding is a very experienced amateur and has ridden SHE'S GOT GRIT to her recent victories. She landed a similar race to this at Cork last month when Liz's D'estruval was 6l back in third and though it should be closer this time she can confirm the form and take this. Her trainer also runs Ibetellingyoualie, a very consistent performer who ran well in a better class event at Downpatrick last time. Lord Heathfield was well behind him at Clonmel in February and looks held but Soaring High has to be respected on his debut over regulation fences as he's looked a nice prospect in his four races to date.
