Race preview
FEYAN won by 18 lengths over fences at Punchestown recently and reverts to hurdles. She was absent for 295 days before returning to action last November, but bounced back to her best winning at Punchestown and reverts to hurdles off 10lb lower. Her only previous hurdles win was gained in the stewards' room but she was capable in this sphere. Missiee won on her second handicap start at Tramore on New Year's Day, is open to more improvement being somewhat unexposed and should run well from 5lb higher. Golden Glen has won just once from 24 attempts but is capable at this level and ran well at Tramore latest. Da Big Fella ran well here in November but hasn't run since while Queensteel hasn't run since June.
