Duchess Ravenwaves is a heavy-ground specialist having won on the Flat and over hurdles in testing conditions. She's performed with credit in both starts over fences and looks certain to get into contention. Nelly's Money has much more experience over the bigger obstacles having been placed in three of eight starts and finishing fourth in a Thurles handicap last time. She should be in the shake-up but MANITOPARK AA looks to have more scope over fences. Five-times a winner on the Flat in France, she landed a Cork maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins in May and her pedigree shouts chasing. Winning point-to-pointer Our Miss Power should do better over fences than she has over timber.
