CATHYS QUEST responded well to score over hurdles at Kilbeggan recently and, if she takes to chasing at the first attempt, she should be able to supplement that success in what appears a weak race on paper. He Fitz In, also a winner over hurdles last time, is respected for all that his record over the larger obstacles isn't particularly convincing.
