Kala Brandy is penalised for her victory in a Wexford bumper but does have experience over hurdles including a decent run here in December. Dual point-to-point winner Bothermenot looked ready to win soon when runner-up over 2m5f at Tramore but ran very poorly over a longer trip at Tipperary later. Kris Kindle showed very little in a dozen bumper starts but a bit more on her hurdling debut where she stayed on over the minimum trip. OSCAR'SWAN has done enough in maidens and handicaps to suggest a race of this nature is within her capabilities and she's taken to get off the mark with Silent Wish, a fair third behind Knockrea here last month, likely to be challenging for a place.
