FormscanBy Alan Magee - FOXY GIRL won a Limerick maiden in good style last season and was far from disgraced in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham. She can reverse Festival places with topweight Shecouldbeanything at these revised terms and should appreciate this trip having stayed on well on both outings this term. Risk Belle is an obvious threat having won a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse last Easter and having won at the same venue this season, probably found 2m4f too far last time. Broomfield Bijou should be suited by this test having won a big field handicap at the Punchestown Festival last spring, while Feet Of A Dancer won’t lack for stamina having won decisively over 2m4f at Fairyhouse but has gone up 12lb as a result. Splashing Out, Natural Look and Media Naranja are others to consider in a very competitive opener.
