Henry De Bromhead has two entries with She Tops The Lot possibly the best of the pair as Eagle Moon returns after a long absence. The former has a fitness advantage having run well at Tramore while Effernock Fizz makes his handicap debut over fences on an 8lb lower mark than hurdles. The Mouse Doctor, seven times a winner, has rejoined Tony Martin and is greatly respected though the vote goes to NELLY'S MONEY. A winner on heavy ground here in March, she's continued in very good form and is still at the right end of the handicap.
