China Princess seemed well suited by dropping back to 2m4f and heavy ground here last month so more rain would aid her cause. Dedanann has been chasing and has a career strike-rate of 0-27 but GOULANE JESSIE has been alternating between hurdles and fences and scored at Cork the last time she ran over timber. She's 5lb higher here but looks the one to beat though Greige makes her handicap debut after a very good run over the trip at Down Royal. Porky Rush looked as though he needed this sort of trip when staying on over 2m4f at Clonmel
