STRAIGHT HOME has unsurprisingly raised her game upon a transfer to Willie Mullins and with this step up in trip likely to unlock even more, she can defy a 9 lb rise. Natural Look and Billy Lee Swagger are a couple of potential threats.

  1. STRAIGHT HOME (IRE)
  2. NATURAL LOOK (IRE)
  3. BILLY LEE SWAGGER (IRE)
