UP THE GIRLS was beaten a couple of lengths by Volkis O'Blue at Punchestown in February and today's conditions are in her favour. She's since run well behind Call Box at Downpatrick and can gain her first hurdling success. Bluebell Princess, a winning point-to-pointer, ran better at Clonmel last time and can make further progress as can Slim To None, who produced his best effort at Navan last month. The market may prove the best guide to the chances of the remainder.
