Despite her welter burden, prolific winner CARRIE DES CHAMPS is the one to beat in this. She beat Fyfin Patsy by 23 lengths here earlier in the month without coming off the bridle. Queen's Magic finally got off the mark in a Worcester maiden last time and that should have given her some confidence. Buttevant Lady was an 80/1 winner at Wexford in June and has changed stables since, though hasn’t had much racing. Methodtothemadness has placed in a couple of bumpers but makes her hurdling debut in a first run since March.
