Verdict

BE FIERCE is clearly well suited by the idiosyncrasies of this track and is taken to record a third course success. Lady Doyanne is in excellent hands and looks interesting on chase debut, while Bynx should go well in her bid for a fourth victory here. Polly Poppins could be a serious danger if returning at her best.

4	Opened his chase account over C&D last year prior to capitalising on his lower hurdles mark on return at Punchestown in January. Not in the same form at Naas the following month but he has a good record fresh and is fancied to resume winning ways with stable's runners mostly in good form of late. 1st Pick 4 Be Fierce (Ire) Jockey: Shane O'callaghan Trainer: T.

7	Followed up point success when a well-backed winner on hurdle debut at Wexford last season. Ran creditably when fourth in a Clonmel handicap hurdle last time and this low-mileage 6-y-o may well do better for the switch to fences. 2nd Pick 7 Lady Doyanne (Ire) Jockey: D. J.

2	Winner on handicap chase debut at Wexford last summer prior to landing a third course hurdles win in October. Should be cherry ripe following a spin in a listed event at Killarney latest and makes plenty of appeal returning to fences at this track. 3rd Pick 2 Bynx (Ire) Jockey: Sean Flanagan Trainer: Martin Hassett, Ireland J: Sean Flanagan T: Martin Hassett, Ireland	94	-	-	-	13%
