Cafe Con Leche was in brilliant form over hurdles on heavy going in March so any further rain will aid her cause. Bigbadandbeautiful completed a hat-trick of bumper victories before surprisingly only fourth in a Leopardstown Grade 2. She looks a cracking prospect for hurdling but could get outpaced here by MIDNIGHT SUNSHINE. Dermot Weld's filly is bred for this trip and showed enough when narrowly beaten over a mile at Navan to suggest she'll be winning races this campaign. Noble Music showed potential for Ralph Beckett before finishing last in a Listed contest at Bath where she didn't stay 1m6f while Noble Music, another transferred from the same yard, made a promising start for new connections at Dundalk in March.
