Race Tip

JADE DE GRUGY (3) recorded a runner-up effort in this event twelve months ago. Confirmed her chasing potential gaining an easy 18L success in a 2m5f G2 Mares Novice Chase at Thurles during January. Leading contender. FEET OF A DANCER (2) has won twice from the last three starts including a 2L victory over DREAM ON BABY (1) tackling the 3m G2 Yorkshire Rose Mares Hurdle at Doncaster six weeks ago. The latter has been consistent this season while both hold big claims. TAKE NO CHANCES (6) ran third in this contest last year, Filled that position past two attempts including over 2m4f at Windsor two months ago. In the mix racing for a top stable. Winner of the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle last year WODHOOH (7) scored among G3 company at Leopardstown three months back. Likely player.
