Race preview
It was an excellent hurdling debut by MOONLIT WINGS when she finished fourth (demoted to fifth) behind the classy Flat performer Royal Illusion at Leopardstown and she can show the benefit of that experience. The daughter of Presenting, who had shown ability in a bumper a couple of years ago, wasn't far behind a 115-rated mare in third and looks to have a good chance in this lesser contest at her local track. Butterflyvespiere was weak in the market when making no impact in a bumper last month but has every chance on the form of her two hurdles runs at Navan and stepping up in trip is likely to suit her. Le Fou's Keep showed a glimmer of ability on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse and could make the frame.
