Dermot Weld is praying for soft going for Unaccompanied in the JCB Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham on March 18.
The Curragh trainer warns that the filly is ground dependent and the master of Rosewell House is unsure if she would handle faster conditions effectively.
Unaccompanied is second favourite with most bookmakers for the Triumph, at a best-priced 7/1, after winning both starts over hurdles including the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown two weeks ago.
"She loves a good give in the ground, she's very effective on soft ground and whether she'll be as effective on a fast surface is debatable," Weld told At The Races.
"I'm not convinced our four-year-old hurdlers are particularly good. She's probably the best of an average team. That said, in soft ground she's very good.
"The Leopardstown Grade 1 was a reasonably good race. I think she will progress, I think she's very good, but she is ground dependent."
