FormscanBy Mark Nunan - NOS NA GAOITHE looks the one to beat and can breeze home under Paul Townend. After winning at Sligo last summer, she ran creditably in a couple of Listed bumpers and just failed to get up on last month’s hurdling debut at Cork. She was nineteen lengths clear of the third and dropping back three furlongs in trip shouldn’t be an issue. Mind Your Money likes good ground and her best run over hurdles saw her finish second in a Thurles handicap in December. She returns from a break and has left Henry de Bromhead since last in action. Dual Flat winner Female Approach was very novicey when fifth on hurdling debut at Punchestown and, if improving in the jumping department, has place claims.
