My Betty has done best of those with experience over fences and should be winning soon though probably over further. Queen Alphabet, three times a winner over hurdles, has also landed a bumper and scored on the Flat at Roscommon in May. She looks a smart recruit to chasing and will attract support as will ISABELLA LIBERTY, who also arrives in good form. She landed two handicaps over hurdles last month before just beaten when stepping up in class at Ballinrobe. She has more of a speed pedigree than her main rival so this trip is ideal providing the ground doesn't turn soft. Thanks For Tea was in tremendous form over hurdles on good ground last summer and her latest efforts have been in testing conditions.
