HAY BABY shaped well with a view to stepping up to this sort of trip at Listowel last month, so she's put forward as the answer. Wild Mandate produced a performance much more in line with the pick of her bumper efforts when runner-up in first-time blinkers at Sligo in August and ought to be in the thick of the action again with a repeat. Recent chase winner Gaelic des Chastys is also well respected off his lower hurdles mark.
