FormscanBy Gary Carson - Grade 1 winner MURCIA has to give weight to her rivals here but could prove the class act. The Doctor Dino filly was progressive last season and took the Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree in fine style. She was far from disgraced when fourth in a hot renewal of the Grade 1 contest at Punchestown to finish her season and sets a fair standard now. It will be interesting to see how I’m Slippy measures up in this. The Maxios gelding was impressive on his hurdling debut at Cork earlier this month but faces a much stiffer test now. Wendrock has a bit to find with Murcia on his showing at Aintree but is another that has to come into calculations.
