Crackerdancer makes her debut over hurdles under a penalty after her three bumper victories but showed she had the heart for a battle when landing a Listed contest at Navan. State Of Nirvana did well in bumpers and made a very encouraging start over timber in a huge field at Punchestown so has to be regarded as does Cut The Mustard, a bumper winner at Nantes just over a year ago and now with Willie Mullins. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper LACKANEEN LEADER looked in need of experience on her opening run over hurdles at Navan and with that under her belt can get off the mark.
