BYERLEY BABE reverts to hurdles having raced over fences last season but she could be too good for these. Robert Tyner's mare has won twice over hurdles so doesn't lack pace. Urtheonethatiwant won at Ballinrobe in August and then ran well at Navan. She's probably the main danger ahead of Downpatrick scorer Somethingprecious and Dashing Lady, though the latter has been in decent form and won't go down without a fight.
