Mam Trasna is carrying a penalty for his bumper victory at Kelso in January, as he did when running poorly at Perth in April where he didn't appear to like the soft ground. Aunty Audrey, three times a winner on the Flat, produced her first placed effort over timber over 2m4f at Wexford and this could prove on the short side. Dunbar was having only his second run over timber when a close third over this course and distance so should improve enough to get into contention but FUTURE MONARCH looks the one to be on. Willie Mullins' charge was in the lead at this trip when tackling 2m4f at Sligo and, as that was only his second run over timber, he will be expected to make progress. Do Ya Feel Lucky and Burlesque Queen both ran well on their hurdling debuts with the promise of more to come.
