LEANNE hasn't raced over hurdles since 2008 but she's been running reasonably well in decent company over fences and gets the vote as she's on a 22lb lower mark over timber. According To Lizzy is still a maiden over hurdles but is getting closer and ran well behind Harold's Cross at Fairyhouse last month. Evesham Star has gone 10 races without managing a victory over hurdles but has shown enough to be considered a major player in this moderate grade while the market should be watched to gauge the chances of Beabus House, who makes her handicap debut. The biggest threat, however, may come from Ros Brin who was travelling well for most of the journey when sent over 3m at Clonmel last time only for her stamina to give out.
