Race preview
SOMETHING ABOUTHER finished ahead of principal rival Miss Tempo on a previous meeting last August. The selection might prefer a sounder surface and her jumping was novicey when falling on chase debut but might benefit from that experience. Miss Tempo would also prefer better ground and while her form has been hit-and-miss, her Naas run was encouraging. A debut point-to-point winner, she is rated 3lb higher than the selection (at 119) over hurdles but disappointed behind her at the Galway festival. Four-time winning hurdler Missiee was well held in the race in which the selection fell last month. Kilashee defeated Miss Tempo in a November 2021 hurdle but is a 16-race chase maiden while stablemate Barbaha Queen has a low rating. Dual point-to-point winner Ma Hoey, out of a half-sister to Lady Rebecca, has already had a foal and her recent racecourse form is poor.
