Verdict

FEYAN won a Punchestown chase by a wide margin last month so is potentially well treated off only 3 lb higher back hurdling. The Higher Road is back on the same mark as when second over C&D in November so she's a possible threat. Da Big Fella and last month's Tramore scorer Missiee are also on the shortlist.

  1. FEYAN (IRE)
  2. THE HIGHER ROAD (IRE)
  3. DA BIG FELLA (IRE)
