Race preview
Michael O'Sullivan taking 5lb off her back leaves LIBBY with a feather weight in this and she can open her account. The Highland Reel filly carried plenty of weight when tried in handicap company at Naas last time and faded in the closing stages after making the running. She had some solid form prior to that, including finishing a close fourth in a listed contest at Doncaster and this looks a nice opportunity now. Jeepydoff Meel has been knocking on the door and looks an obvious danger but has to give away a fair chunk of weight to the younger filly. One Big Bang ran well for a long way on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month and could get involved for minor money here.
