The progressive CHOCOLATE HILLS will be difficult to beat. Ger Lyons' filly landed a Bellewstown nursery in August before an excellent run in a tougher event at Dundalk and has plenty going for her. She had Bogini well behind in that latest run while Foolish Lady is taking a big drop in trip after racing over 7f on her last three starts. Red Avis, narrowly beaten by the much more experienced Bogini at Down Royal last month, should have come on enough to take her revenge and looks a major threat.
