FormscanBy Tom Weekes - This smart race is lost mid-Cheltenham-week, with preference for consistent MOZZIES SISTER who is an able performer and stays well. Although defeated by today’s rival Familiar Dreams in a Grade 3 bumper last May, the selection has done better over hurdles since then and a reproduction of either of her last three runs – when placed in Grade 2 and Grade 1 company, would see her involved. Familiar Dreams jumped better than on her hurdling debut to win at Punchestown but now steps up in grade. The Great Nudie was beaten by William Munny recently and on prior form, holds today’s rival Sainte Tartare. Tareze readily landed a Listed race last month while Barnahash Primrose was badly hampered when scoring at Leopardstown.
