FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This is a very weak contest and despite running below par on her last start, SERRA NOVA is given another chance. The daughter of Dushyantor won a race at Cork over the distance in August and then she ran a respectable race again at Cork to finish fourth behind The Boat People. She disappointed last time out at Punchestown but is given another chance in this weak contest. Let Me Fly is an interesting runner for trainer Amanda Mooney. The 5yo son of Alderbrook is out of a half-sister to fourteen time winner Emotional Moment. He has shown nothing of note so far in maiden hurdles but making his debut in handicap company here a better showing can be expected. Three time winner Bobsthewizard makes her come back from nearly two years off the track and if the Fran Flood trained mare has retained her ability she could go close. Short Grass and Rating Queen both ran well last time out and are sure to give good accounts of themselves.
