Ruby Walsh is the regular partner of THE FITZ LADY and was on board when she stayed on strongly to score over slightly shorter at Cork. She's 5lb higher but is in good form and can complete a double. She had won over this trip on the same track in July when Teacher's Pet fell at the last when in contention. The latter has won twice subsequently and comes out worse in the weights this time. Concience produced easily her best performance so far over hurdles when runner-up in a huge field at Punchestown and a repeat would see her go close while Khalessi is also nearing her first hurdling success judged on her second in a Clonmel maiden. Mileys Dream wasn't far behind the selection at Cork last month and should be in the hunt again.
