FormscanBy Donal Murphy - FOXY GIRL appeals on her handicap debut. Successful on her second start at Limerick last Christmas, she had no less than six subsequent winners in behind. The Saint des Saints bay since finished a respectable eighth of 21 in Grade 2 company at the Cheltenham Festival and is fitted with a hood for the first time now. The Model Kingdom was behind the selection at Prestbury Park, but it'll come as no surprise if she managed to reverse the form, with Jack Kennedy a positive jockey booking. Gordon Elliott saddles four of the 13 set to take part, with top-weight Party Central perhaps the best of them. Last seen finishing 11th in the Galway Hurdle, the six-time winner will be ridden by Danny Gilligan who claims a valuable 5lb. Elliott's other representatives (Magic Tricks, Media Naranja and Bestaline) all warrant respect, while Palace Rock is another for the shortlist.
