Littel Flour led 3f out and only just failed to hold Fizzle Rock at Down Royal so today's faster conditions could enable her to hang on. However, HI STRANGER looks the form pick after a very encouraging debut in what looked a decent bumper at Cork and can go one better. Maska Du Morvan and Gracesolution were both behind in that Down Royal event and look held but Elusive Sea will improve for her run at Punchestown. Ask For Fame led for a long way at Clonmel and Princess Sophia should progress from her run at Punchestown in March.
