Dazzling Susie alternates between hurdles and fences and ran a fine race when last seen over the smaller obstacles when just touched off by Away We Go at Fairyhouse in February. She should go well along with Jennies Jewel, who had little chance against the high-class Annie Power in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last time but had run well at Grade 2 level previously. UPSIE remains unbeaten in three runs, two in bumpers, and though facing her stiffest test to date she impressed when overcoming trouble in-running at Naas last time and can make enough progress to take this. The consistent Bobbina will appreciate the quicker ground and may do best of the remainder.
