Well beaten in three starts over hurdles, FLORRIE WEBB (NAP) showed much more aptitude for fences when runner-up at Tramore on her chasing bow. A conditional’s 7lb allowance further helps her cause today and she’s preferred to stablemate Derby, who hasn’t raced since 2018. Golden Nomad also fared well at Sligo on his debut over the larger obstacles and should be in the mix while Atlantic Shore will be sharper for a recent comeback and chasing bow at Limerick when well beaten in fourth. Castlegrange placed over timber when last in action and is a half-brother to a winning chaser.
