Downtown Queen, a dual hurdles winner, was having just her third start over fences when narrowly beaten over the course and distance three weeks ago. Lake Chad very nearly brought a long losing run to an end at Tramore and a similar run would see him go close though SEARCH FOR A MYTH can take this. Robert Tyner's mare completed a double over hurdles and fences and wasn't at her best back over timber at Cork last month. Five-times hurdles winner Robyndeglory hasn't shown much in two starts over fences while Rebel Waltz has been looking a few pounds high since scoring at Clonmel.
