FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A LAW OF HER OWN(13) catches the eye on her stable debut for Emmet Mullins. Owned by the Mee family, the mare is a former festival winner over hurdles. Although now in the latter stages of her career, it is surely significant that she makes her first start for new connections at this particular meeting. Locally trained Kings Hill is another that will have had this race on his radar for some time. Second on his most recent start over fences, the Paul Gilligan-trained gelding had a prep run on the Flat recently. Intense Approach needs to improve to get involved but has been highly tried since winning his Beginners' Chase here last year.
