PEPITE DE BELLE never got close to the odds-on Avellino at Clonmel last week and her jumping left plenty to be desired. However, she will have come on for the experience and this looks a moderate affair. Duchess Ravenwaves, a winner on the Flat and over hurdles, makes her debut over fences and wouldn't need to be a world-beater nor would Eversosaucy though she's been placed once in 10 starts over timber. With her stable in such good form, Midway To Getaway is one to keep an eye on as she makes her debut under Rules while Jordan Gainford's claim is a plus for Turndownthevolume, a very good second in a Tramore handicap before outclassed in a Thurles Grade 2.
