CATHYS QUEST (2) has done well since being fitted with blinkers and seemed to relish the step up in trip when scooting clear to score over 3 m at Kilbeggan last time. A 13lbs hike in the weights demands more but she was pretty impressive that day and can follow up on her chasing debut. SHANTOU SISU (8) won comfortably in a handicap chase over 3 ³⁄₁₆m at Sligo last start and looks the obvious threat alongside MOVIE KING (5), who goes back over fences after a fair third in a Navan novice handicap hurdle. Each-way claims go the way of STEPS MATCH (6).
