Four from five over the larger obstacles including a 6L win in a Grade 3 novice chase at Cork last month. Solid and consistent sort who should go well again.
Winner of a couple of novice chases towards the end of the year. Ground the step up to Grade 1 level a step too far on St Stephens Day in the Racing Post novice chase but capable of a big run here.
Useful 147-rated handicap hurdler for trainer-Willie Mullins and off the mark on stable debut in a Naas 2m beginners contest earlier in the month. Capable of a big run once more.
Well held in two career chase starts to date including finishing 13L adrift of Meri Devie in a Naas contest earlier this month. Hard to place any faith in.
Forecasts
Camelia De Cotte (1/1), Ellie Mac (7/2), Meri Devie (4/1), Grey Waters (8/1), Tell Me Annie (12/1), Oh Me Oh My (16/1), Nellie Pledge (50/1)
The Willie Mullins-trained CAMELIA DE COTTE made it four from five over the larger obstacles last month in a Grade 3 contest at Cork over a shorter trip and may take some stopping here on her first steps in Grade 2 company. Meri Devie - formerly with Willie Mullins - won on first start for Paul Nolan earlier this month and can emerge as the biggest danger here. Ellie Mac looks the best of the rest.
