FormscanBy Donal Murphy - An interesting contest to round off proceedings. With two placed efforts over hurdles to her name, BETTY DUTTON is probably the safest option. An encouraging third on debut at Roscommon, she stepped forward nicely from that run, just failing to peg back the 118 rated Evergreen And Red on her most recent start at Tramore. It's interesting that connections have now opted to try the Frozen Fire bay in a bumper, with Pat Taaffe a positive jockey booking. Newcomers Little Soiree and Catchabird are of definite interest, with the latter a full-sister to dual Grade 2 winner Getabird. The former hails from the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard and it'll come as no surprise if she is good enough to take this on debut. I Am Shadow is from a family full of winners and has definite claims after finishing second at the Galway Festival on her most recent start. Placed three times from four outings, Phils Choice is another leading contender, while the Gordon Elliott trained Iconography is also that warrants respect.
