FormscanBy Michael Graham - A change of strategy in attempting to make all saw Dilly Filly finish fourth at this track in March. The same approach could see her bank a cheque. ETINCELLE LIOTERIE has attracted support on both of her starts in mares' maiden hurdles at Limerick and Killarney. She came in fourth in both of them, after racing prominently, and the drop back in trip looks a shrewd move as she came under pressure coming to the last two flights in those two and three quarter mile contests. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Gordon Elliott's Imperial Allure makes her hurdling debut after three unplaced efforts in mares' bumpers. She has Davy Russell's assistance and Elliott's strike rate at this venue is beyond reproach. He also saddles former point-to-point winner Immortality, and you would think this mare could appreciate the better ground. Coosan Clover has a bit to find with the selection on their running at Limerick, but isn't out of it.
