Downpatrick specialist, two wins and three places from eight visits; trounced Whispering Willow in a chase there last time, but might not uphold form here; unconvincing form at tracks other than Downpatrick and Tramore; first time at this venue; on the plus side, Caragh Monaghan has twice finished second on her.
