FormscanBy Mark Nunan - It’s all about the topweight ALL CLASS here as she still looks well-handicapped compared to her Flat mark. David Dunne’s mare won twice on the level in the spring and is rated 72 in that sphere so, even though she was raised a stone in the ratings for a snug win at Sligo last time, she should have another race or two in her over hurdles. She likes to get her toe in, so connections will be hoping the ground doesn’t dry out too much. Deo Bellator was flattered to finish so close to the selection when third last time and doesn’t make much appeal even at the revised weights, and Hattie Amarin looks more of a threat. A well-supported third on handicap hurdle debut at Navan back in June, she went on to beat Galway winner No Thanks on the Flat at Ballinrobe and is a progressive type. Frisco Queen, whose trainer was amongst the winners at Galway, is a handicap first-timer to note having caught the attention of the stewards in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in February.
