FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ANNA BUNINA should prove hard to beat with Mark McDonagh taking a valuable 7lb off. The John McConnell trained six-year-old won the Grade 2 Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr in April before finishing a good fifth in the Swinton at Haydock. She since won the Listed Tourist Attraction Hurdle at Killarney and beat Heia into second, with that one giving the form a significant boost by winning easily at Punchestown on Saturday. Sit Down Lucy is just one from 13 over flights but has some very good efforts to her name. She was second in a Grade 3 contest over the course and distance last October, finishing a solid fourth in a competitive Grade B handicap hurdle on her penultimate start at the Punchestown Festival. Shesadream benefited from a canny Jack Kennedy ride to win on her hurdles debut at Limerick last week and while this is a step-up in class, she should be able to make her presence felt.
