Race preview
MIGHTY MEGGSIE looks up to winning a race of this standard. The Jessica Harrington-trained mare ran a cracker when pushing Mind Your Money to half a length at Tipperary last time and a similar effort may be enough to get her head in front now. That was her third outing over fences, and her third runner-up effort, having bumped into a couple of smart types previously. Tom McGreevy was running a decent race on his chase debut at Tramore until falling two from home and may have been in the places then. If that hasn't left a mark he could be a big player here. Peckham Springs just squeezes in here off his hurdles mark of 116 and is one to note on his chase debut.
