Breezy Bell finished ahead of Sirjack Thomas at Punchestown 12 days ago but the latter could get closer here on slightly better terms. Clody Valley was thereabouts in a couple of outings last month but is probably still too high in the weights. Crazyheart has a much higher rating over fences and should be coming to hand whereas SHES FLAT TOTHEMAT is rated higher over hurdles than fences. However, Michael Winters’ mare ran well in two starts in July and she was a winner over 2m4f here on her last try over the smaller obstacles. The maiden Sirjack Thomas could also play a part.
