FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GAULOISE disappointed at Cheltenham when well behind Telmesomethinggirl but has a big pull at the weights with the winner and finished last season on a high. Willie Mullins’ charge chased home Skyace in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse before rounding off her campaign with an easy win at the festival here in April. She looks the type that can progress further this season. Royal Kahala was another to run below-par in the mares’ novice hurdle at Cheltenham but she finished a place ahead of the selection when second at Fairyhouse in February and is 5lb better off on this occasion. Telesomethinggirl was not disgraced in a Grade 1 against the geldings when last seen in April but faces a stiff task under her penalty. Coral Cup heroine Heaven Help Us and easy Gowran winner Western Victory are others to consider in a competitive heat.
