FormscanBy Michael Graham - IMPERVIOUS is a Grade 3 winner over hurdles who really took to fences in Wexford. She has had a nice break since that victory on heavy ground at the end of October. Connections have her entered in a Grade 1 novice chase at Leopardstown later in the month. Willie Mullins' Dinoblue is a big player. She made a more than pleasing start to her chasing career over CD last month. She made all and her jumping is a big asset. She beat Roseys Hollow by three and three quarter lengths and it is hard to see the latter overturning that form. Mullins also saddles Instit who was runner-up in a Listed mares' novice hurdle at Punchestown in April. She gets the four-year-old allowance and has every chance of getting in the mix.
A novice steeplechase for four years old and upwards mares only that are EBF eligible
