Race preview
A 10lb penalty for her Grade 3 victory at Leopardstown last Christmas and the fact that she has missed a couple of recent Flat engagements, either of which would have been a nice pipe-opener, means that JETARA may be somewhat vulnerable but her Grade 1 form in the spring still makes her difficult to oppose. Jessica Harrington's six-year-old ran with great credit three times in a row at the highest level last term and rounded off the campaign when chasing home star novice Ballyburn at the Punchestown Festival. Progressive handicapper Champella is race-fit, which may give her an edge over Feet Of A Dancer, absent since May, and last year's runner-up Riviere D'etel, who is more effective over fences.
