Sea Sessions won a Listed hurdle at Aintree in December and has had a couple of runs on the Flat to put her straight. The stable also run Champella, a bumper and hurdles winner in the summer but untested on soft ground. ROCCO BAY easily landed a bumper at Bangor then made a winning start over hurdles at Limerick where she had plenty in hand. She'll need to improve again but looks capable of doing so. Martha Divine won a Punchestown bumper and had no problems with testing ground on her hurdling debut at Cork in April while Return To Base won a Punchestown bumper in May and her recent poor runs have been over fences.
