FormscanBy Gary Carson - This looks like a nice stepping stone for A PENNY A HUNDRED who comes here unbeaten after her bumper and maiden hurdle wins. The Jukebox Jury filly handled testing conditions when a cosy winner at Limerick in October and Paul Townend takes the mount again having been complimentary about her jumping post-race. Banntown Girl holds the top official rating, of 132, and ran well to chase home an exciting prospect in Brighterdaysahead at Down Royal last time. She is entitled to be a big player. Jetara was well beaten in that Down Royal contest, having run freely, but has to be on the shortlist now after a confidence boosting win at Fairyhouse last month.
