FormscanBy Mark Nunan - While not one of the leading lights at Closutton, HAUTURIERE might be able to get her turn. She went down by just three-parts of a length in this very race 12 months ago and ran well at Limerick over Christmas when returning from a break. The chestnut six-year-old may ideally want further than this, but with Willie Mullins and Paul Townend in such prolific form, she is difficult to oppose. Emily Roebling has been second four times and third four times in maidens. She was only half a length behind the selection at Limerick but is obviously a lot more exposed. Desert Heather, runner-up on hurdling debut, had won three point-to-points in a row prior to that. Now fitted with headgear, she's clearly in good heart. Crumb Of Comfort, whose sister was a Listed winner for her yard, makes a belated debut at the age of eight while Kates Hill, runner-up in both bumper starts, should be sharper for her hurdling bow over Christmas.
