FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SHES SOME DOLL ran well on chase debut in a better beginners at Killarney and is suited by trip and ground. A maiden hurdle winner last Christmas, she is rated 98 over hurdles, should improve from chase debut and receives 7lbs from the geldings. Another mare Pretty Little Liar was a 10L winner over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month and is now rated 101. She makes her chase debut but is very well experienced over hurdles. General Clermont is rated 103 over hurdles following Sunday's third-placing and has claims despite making his chase debut. Rochestown is an interesting runner being a debut point-to-point winner in February 2020. He has been well held on his racecourse outings since then and while he may turn out to be useful in time, makes his seasonal reappearance today and might ideally prefer more testing ground. Chase debutante Ever So Cool was well held on yard debut last month but did win last May. Tramore handicap hurdle winner Withallduerespect was well held on chase debut while Feyan was well beaten in two previous chase outings and hasn't run since January. Banjo is rated 102 over fences but has won just once in 35 career starts.
