Verdict

Some mares in good form come into this contest, and it could revolve around ARBOR DES CHAMPS and Tay Lane. The second-named needs respecting given she has recently been moved to the care of Willie Mullins, but that aside probably brings the inferior form of the pair to the table, with Emmet Mullins' charge impressing since switching from bumpers to hurdles, especially when winning with ease at Downpatrick last time despite racing keenly in the early stages. Penny Jane only made her debut in March but has already won three times, including twice over hurdles, and so is another to consider.
